Hangar 24 Craft Brewing

Iconic Double IPA presents an assertive and complex sensory experience, delivering the quintessential West Coast hop profile. The aromatic intensity is driven by a quartet of American hops—Centennial, Citra, Columbus, and Simcoe—which provide layers of fresh grapefruit, bright citrus, and resinous pine. This hop-forward character is supported by a robust foundation of five malts and local orange blossom honey, which lends a delicate floral sweetness and depth to the mid-palate. At 9% ABV, the beer remains remarkably drinkable, offering a clean, warming sensation that balances the firm, lingering bitterness. The finish is dry and crisp, showcasing the interplay between citrus zest and earthy resin.

Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light copper (8-12 SRM) with excellent clarity and a moderate, persistent off-white head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, and resinous pine from the Citra and Simcoe. Background notes of floral orange blossom honey and a clean, lightly grainy malt sweetness provide a supportive base. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a punchy hop bitterness followed by flavors of citrus peel, pine needles, and a hint of dank earthiness. The Centennial and Columbus hops provide a classic floral and spicy edge. A medium-low malt sweetness, enhanced by the honey, provides balance before a dry, crisp finish with a long, clean bitterness that never becomes harsh.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively scrub on the tongue. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any fusel heat or astringency.
