Moongazer is a lush Double IPA that captures the essence of a tropical night. This collaboration between Equilibrium and Charles Towne Fermentory utilizes a soft flaked oat and wheat base to support an intense hop profile. Citra hops deliver saturated waves of ripe mango flesh and bright lime, while Nelson Sauvin adds complex layers of green grape and a subtle white pepper spice. The sensory experience is defined by a dank, grassy undertone and a vibrant citrus character. It culminates in the signature creamy juice finish, balancing high-intensity fruit notes with a smooth, well-integrated strength that remains remarkably drinkable.
Appearance.Pours a hazy, pale gold to light orange (7-9 SRM). Topped with a thick, frothy, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass. Clarity is opaque, typical of modern interpretations.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of ripe mango, lime zest, and green grape. A light peppery spice and dank, resinous grassiness are evident. Supportive malt is clean and grainy with soft wheat notes; fermentation is neutral.
Taste.Strong, complex hop flavors of tropical fruit and bright citrus lead the palate. Medium-high bitterness is firm but smooth, lacking harshness. The malt provides a soft, bready backdrop that allows the green grape and citrus hop character to shine. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering, saturated hop-oil aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a distinctly creamy and smooth texture from the flaked grains. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without being solventy or hot.
