Judgment Day is an explosive Double IPA that centers on a massive hop profile driven by a lethal duo of Nelson Sauvin and El Dorado. The triple dry hop technique amplifies the sensory intensity, delivering high-impact cues of fresh white grape and crushed gooseberry alongside a saturated tropical candy sweetness and tart passion fruit. A supportive but neutral malt backbone ensures the focus remains on the complex hop layering, which concludes with a fine, lingering resinous touch in the retro-nasal finish. At 8.5% alcohol, it offers a well-integrated warmth that complements its vibrant, fruit-forward character and firm, modern bitterness.
