Jopen Hypercolour #1 is an explosive tropical fruit bomb that leans into the lush, saturated hop character of a New England-inspired Double IPA. High-intensity waves of ripe peach, zesty citrus, and vibrant passionfruit dominate the sensory landscape, reflecting a modern, "hyper-colorful" approach to dry-hopping. The 8.5% ABV provides a structural foundation that supports the dense hop oils without becoming heavy. Expect a vivid sensory experience where the aromatic fruitiness of New World hops takes center stage, backed by a soft, supportive malt profile and a clean, firm bitterness that ensures a refreshing finish despite its considerable strength.
Appearance.Deep gold to pale orange (7-9 SRM) with a pronounced, persistent, creamy white head. Noticeable haze, consistent with its New England influence, creating an opaque, glowing appearance in the glass.
Aroma.High intensity and deeply aromatic. Initial notes are dominated by a medley of tropical fruits, specifically juicy passionfruit and sweet peach, accompanied by a sharp grapefruit and orange citrus zest. Very low, clean bready malt sits in the background, allowing the hop-derived esters and oils to lead.
Taste.The palate is a saturated burst of tropical fruit flavors, echoing the aroma's peach and passionfruit. A firm but smooth hop bitterness emerges mid-palate to balance the initial fruity sweetness. The malt character is neutral and unobtrusive, resembling light grain or crackers. It finishes medium-dry with a lingering citrus peel resin and a clean, fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium to medium-full body with a smooth, almost velvety texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift, while the 8.5% alcohol provides a well-integrated, soft warmth that enhances the beer's substantial presence without any harshness or solvent notes.
