This Triple Dry Hopped Double IPA showcases a vibrant, modern hop profile driven by Nelson Sauvin and Krush. It pours a dense, hazy gold, unleashing intense aromatics of white grape, lychee, and galia melon. On the palate, a complex wave of tropical fruit emerges, highlighting bitter green grape, kiwi, and sweet green apple skin from the Nelson Sauvin, while Krush contributes succulent pear and zesty lime. The mouthfeel is exceptionally plush and custard-like, providing a smooth, juicy substrate for the assertive hop saturation. A well-integrated 8% ABV adds gentle warmth, balancing the lingering, resinous bitterness characteristic of a classic Double IPA.
