Horizont Brewing's Double Gentle Bastard is an intense, high-energy Double IPA that balances aggressive hop power with deceptive drinkability. Bright, punchy aromas of sweet tangerine, grapefruit peel, and resinous pine dominate the nose, supported by a lean, clean malt backbone that keeps the focus entirely on the citrus-forward hops. On the palate, a wave of vibrant citrus fruitiness is quickly countered by a clean, firm bitterness that stretches into a dry, resinous finish. At eight percent alcohol by volume, it offers a well-integrated, smooth warmth that elevates the tasting experience without overwhelming the senses.
Appearance.Pours a bright, clear gold to light orange-copper color with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves tight, attractive lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Intense, punchy hop aroma featuring dominant notes of fresh grapefruit, orange peel, and tangerine, backed by subtle resinous pine and floral undertones. Malt is clean, low, and neutral, with a very subtle hint of warming alcohol.
Taste.Bold and complex hop-forward profile highlighting vibrant citrus and resinous flavors. Bitterness is moderately high and firm but remains smooth and free of harshness. A clean, soft, neutral malt flavor supports the hops, leading to a dry finish with a lingering hoppy and clean bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, with a clean, restrained alcohol warmth and zero hop astringency.
