Stalking Prey is a potent Double IPA that showcases an intense aromatic profile driven by Galaxy and Nelson hops. This 8.8% ale leads with high-intensity notes of ripe passion fruit, juicy pineapple, and distinctive white wine grape. The presence of Nelson provides a sophisticated gooseberry and crushed grape character, while Galaxy reinforces the tropical depth with peach and citrus undertones. Built on a soft, neutral malt base, it balances its significant alcohol strength with a firm but smooth bitterness. The experience concludes with a clean, dry finish that allows the complex, pungent hop oils to linger on the palate.
Appearance.Hazy gold to light orange color (SRM 7-9). Features a dense, persistent white head with excellent lacing and a soft, opaque clarity typical of modern interpretations.
Aroma.High to intense hop aroma characterized by passion fruit and citrus from the Galaxy additions, alongside the distinctive white grape, gooseberry, and light diesel notes of Nelson. Low neutral, grainy malt support; clean fermentation with a hint of smooth alcohol.
Taste.Initial burst of tropical fruit and vinous white wine. Strong hop flavors of peach, mango, and crushed grapes dominate a clean, soft malt backbone. Moderately high bitterness provides structure without being harsh. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, resinous hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Moderate carbonation and a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth. No hop-derived astringency.
