Hopalaa AMPLIFIER
AMPLIFIER is a vibrant Double IPA that showcases an explosive triple dry-hopped character. A massive hop bill featuring Vic Secret, El Dorado, Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy creates an intense sensory experience dominated by pineapple, passion fruit, and ripe mango. These New World hops drive the profile, backed by a clean, lean malt base that allows the tropical and citrus nuances to resonate. At 8.6% ABV, it offers a smooth, integrated warmth, while the relatively low bitterness ensures a focus on pure hop saturation. It is a modern, fruit-forward expression of the style, balancing punchy aromatics with a soft, approachable finish.
Appearance. Pale gold (approx. 5 SRM) with a luminous, slight haze consistent with triple dry-hopping. Features a moderate-sized, persistent white head with fine-beaded lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent passion fruit, pineapple, and mango. Secondary notes of citrus zest, blueberry, and a hint of resinous pine. Malt is neutral and grainy in the background, supporting a clean fermentation profile with minimal esters.
Taste. Initial impression is a wave of tropical fruit, specifically pineapple from Vic Secret and stone fruit from El Dorado. Hop flavor is high and complex, featuring citrus and berry notes from Citra and Mosaic. Bitterness is low to moderate (30 IBU) and very smooth, lacking any harshness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, juicy hop aftertaste and soft, clean malt.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the hop flavors without being solventy. Free of hop-derived astringency.
