This American IPA showcases a vibrant, modern hop profile driven by the specific use of Fantasia and T.N.T. hops. The initial sensory impression is dominated by an aromatic burst of ripe apricot and peach from the Fantasia, followed by the tropical punch of passion fruit and red grapefruit attributed to the T.N.T. variety. Brasserie Dunham maintains a clean fermentation profile, allowing these hop-derived stone fruit and citrus characteristics to remain at the forefront. A lean, grainy malt backbone provides just enough support before a crisp, dry finish and a firm, persistent bitterness cleanse the palate.
Appearance.Deep gold to light amber (approx. 8 SRM) with a slight haze. Topped with a medium-sized, off-white head showing good persistence and fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of apricot, peach, and passion fruit. Subtle background notes of red grapefruit and melon are supported by a low, clean, crackery malt character and a neutral fermentation profile.
Taste.High hop flavor echoing the aroma with layers of stone fruit and tropical citrus. Low grainy-sweet malt provides a foundational balance to the medium-high bitterness. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving a lingering hop-forward aftertaste of citrus zest and resin without any harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a refreshing bite. No significant alcohol warmth or astringency.
