Ex Novo Brewing

Enter Hypnosis is a vibrant Double IPA that showcases an intense aromatic profile driven by a heavy-handed addition of Citra, Amarillo, and HBC 586 hops. These varieties coalesce into a complex sensory experience featuring layers of bright tangerine, crushed pineapple, and ripe mango, underpinned by a subtle floral lift. The base malt remains clean and unobtrusive, providing just enough structure to support the aggressive hop bitterness. A dry, crisp finish ensures high drinkability despite the elevated strength, while the hop-saturated character lingers on the palate with notes of resin and citrus peel, embodying the modern spirit of the style.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves delicate lacing. Good clarity with only a very slight, hop-derived haze.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit and lime from Citra, alongside the orange and floral character of Amarillo. HBC 586 contributes a unique tropical medley of mango and lychee. Malt is supportive and neutral with a light grainy sweetness.

Taste. Assertive and complex hop flavors mirror the aroma, leading with tropical fruit and zesty citrus. Malt flavor is low and clean, offering a soft, cracker-like backdrop. Bitterness is moderately high and firm but lacks harshness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no astringency.
