Hyacinth is a powerhouse Double IPA that pushes into Triple IPA territory, showcasing an intense and saturated profile of experimental hops. This 10% ABV expression delivers an high-impact sensory experience defined by a lush bouquet of tropical fruit, stone fruit, and unique floral-herbal nuances. Despite its significant strength, the malt remains a clean, supportive background of light grain and soft dough, ensuring the focus remains on the innovative hop character. The palate is defined by hop saturation rather than aggressive bitterness, providing a smooth, fruit-heavy delivery that masks its potency through a creamy mouthfeel and a clean, gently warming finish.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (6-9 SRM) with a heavy, opaque haze characteristic of the brewery's style. Features a dense, persistent, off-white mousse-like head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma featuring high-impact notes of ripe mango, passionfruit, and specific resinous or floral-herbal cues from experimental hops. Low, neutral maltiness provides a clean, cracker-like backdrop with a faint, smooth alcohol presence.
Taste.Initial impression is a massive wave of saturated hop flavors, including tropical fruit and citrus zest. Malt flavor is low but provides a soft, doughy foundation. Bitterness is firm and moderately high but smooth and free of harshness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, resinous hop aftertaste and well-integrated alcohol.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a notably creamy, smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a soft palate. A gentle, restrained alcohol warmth is present but never solventy or hot.
