Hopalaa PINECODE / DIPA
This West Coast Double IPA delivers an intense, resinous hop experience driven by a robust blend of Chinook, Columbus, Citra, and Simcoe. The aroma leads with sharp pine and bright grapefruit, backed by subtle tropical notes and dank earthiness. On the palate, a foundation of Maris Otter and Munich malt provides a bready, toasted biscuit base with a hint of Caramel malt providing balance against the aggressive bitterness. The California Ale yeast ensures a clean, neutral profile that lets the resinous hops dominate. It finishes exceptionally dry with a lingering citrus snap and a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth that highlights its strength.
Appearance. Gold to light copper (8-10 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring prominent notes of resinous pine, grapefruit zest, and a touch of tropical passionfruit. Supportive bready and lightly toasted malt scents are present in the background, with a clean, neutral fermentation profile and a subtle hint of alcohol.
Taste. Strong, complex hop flavors dominated by resin, pine needles, and citrus peel. A moderately high to high bitterness is present but well-integrated, never harsh. A low to medium bready malt character from the Maris Otter and Munich malts provides a soft foundation. The finish is very dry with a lingering, bitter, and hoppy aftertaste, showing a clean alcohol presence.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from hop resins. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite. A smooth, restrained alcohol warmth is noticeable but pleasant, without any harsh astringency.
