Cornholio is a modern Double IPA that emphasizes a saturated, tropical hop profile. The experimental YQH-1320 hops take center stage, delivering intense aromas of ripe pineapple, guava, and stone fruit. This sensory experience is bolstered by the bright grapefruit and lime notes of Citra, while Sultana adds layers of zesty lemon and resinous pine. Ekuanot rounds out the character with subtle melon and berry complexity. This hazy, pale orange ale offers a soft, pillowy texture that carries high hop saturation without harshness. A restrained, neutral malt backbone supports the 7.5% ABV, resulting in a finish defined by lingering, juicy tropical fruit punch.
