Icarus Brewing Waikikamukau
Waikikamukau is a vibrant Double IPA that showcases a distinctive Southern Hemisphere hop profile, blending the citrus intensity of Lupulin Citra with the signature lime and tropical notes of Wakatu and Motueka. It pours with a soft, luminous haze, releasing a pungent bouquet of crushed gooseberries, fresh lime zest, and ripe passionfruit. On the palate, a clean, neutral malt base provides a lean canvas for waves of lemon-lime and grapefruit, supported by a firm but smooth bitterness that avoids harshness. The finish is crisp and lingering, highlighting the intricate hop interplay and a well-integrated alcohol presence typical of the style.
Appearance. Deep gold to light orange with a persistent, creamy white head; notable haze consistent with its North East styling, though maintaining a modern Double IPA character.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant lime zest, lemon, and tropical fruit such as passionfruit and melon from the Wakatu and Motueka; Lupulin Citra contributes bright grapefruit and resinous notes; very low, neutral grainy malt in the background.
Taste. Intense citrus and tropical hop flavors mirror the aroma; moderately high bitterness that is firm yet smooth and lacking harshness; minimal malt sweetness focusing on a clean, dry to medium-dry finish; faint fruity esters with a lingering hop-forward aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture; moderate carbonation; light, well-integrated alcohol warmth; no hop-derived astringency.
