This Quadruple-strength Double IPA delivers an intense sensory experience dominated by an aggressive double dry-hop addition of Citra. The aroma is saturated with pungent notes of pink grapefruit, lychee, and ripe mango, supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone. On the palate, the Citra hops provide a concentrated punch of citrus oil and tropical resin, balanced by a firm, persistent bitterness. Despite the formidable 11.7% alcohol content, the finish remains remarkably smooth, showcasing a well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the hop intensity without adding heaviness. It is a quintessential, high-gravity interpretation of the modern Double IPA style.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange-copper with a dense, persistent off-white head and significant lacing. Exhibits a moderate hop haze from the heavy dry-hopping rates.
Aroma.High-intensity hop aroma featuring Citra-driven notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and lime zest. Very low, clean, grainy malt presence in the background with a noticeable but smooth and non-solventy ethanol sweetness.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit and citrus peel. High bitterness is firm but lacks harshness, balancing a lean, bready malt character. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering resinous hop aftertaste and a clean, warming alcohol presence.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. Significant but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow without harshness or astringency.
