Obscene is a powerhouse Double IPA that showcases an immense tropical profile driven by London Fog yeast and a complex hop blend. Aromas of ripe mango and blueberry from Mosaic and bright citrus notes from Citra lead the charge, while Sabro introduces a distinctive creamy coconut essence. Comet and Loral provide a foundational layer of lemon zest and subtle floral herbalism. At 10% ABV, the beer delivers a significant yet smooth alcohol presence. The palate is saturated with passion fruit and peach, balanced by a firm bitterness and a luscious, full-bodied mouthfeel that defines this modern, juicy interpretation of the style.
Appearance.Pours a hazy, deep gold to light orange with a dense, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing. Opaque clarity consistent with the use of London Fog yeast.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring a saturated mix of mango, passion fruit, and blueberry. Distinctive notes of coconut and lime are present, supported by a stone fruit ester profile and a clean, light bready malt backbone.
Taste.Explosive hop flavors of peach, mango, and citrus dominate the initial impression. A firm, moderately high bitterness provides balance against the substantial malt weight. The mid-palate reveals coconut and lemon pith, leading to a medium-dry finish with a lingering tropical aftertaste and smooth alcohol warmth.
Mouthfeel.Full body with a soft, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent heaviness. Significant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, without any harsh or solventy edges.
