Flying Dog Brewery Nuclear Smile
This high-octane Double IPA radiates an intense sensory profile defined by its nuclear hop impact and a dense, hazy presentation. A massive wave of tropical fruit—reminiscent of overripe mango and pineapple—merges with bright citrus notes of grapefruit and orange peel. Despite the formidable 10% ABV, the malt remains lean and supportive, offering just enough cracker-like depth to balance the aggressive bitterness. Resinous pine and floral hop oils dominate the aromatics, while the finish is deceptively smooth for its strength, leaving a lingering, resinous warmth that defines this modern, potent take on the Double IPA style.
Appearance. Hazy and opaque golden-orange color (approximately 8-10 SRM). Thick, creamy, off-white head with excellent retention and heavy, decorative lacing.
Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring dominant tropical fruit (mango, passionfruit), citrus (tangerine), and a distinct resinous pine edge. Low, neutral grainy malt in the background with a noticeable but clean alcohol sweetness.
Taste. Initial punch of tropical fruit and citrus hop flavors. High bitterness that is firm and persistent but lacks harshness. Malt character is low and clean, providing a soft foundation for the hops. Finish is medium-dry with a lingering bitterness and smooth alcohol warmth.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture enhanced by the haze. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth that is pleasant and not solventy.
