Imperial IPA 8.3 º

Koala San Brew

DAAANK SURFIN is a sophisticated hybrid that bridges the gap between West Coast assertiveness and New England silkiness. This Double IPA leads with an aggressive, dank aromatic profile of fresh pine and sticky resin, a nod to its traditional West Coast lineage. Beneath the resinous exterior, a lush profile of tropical fruits and vibrant red berries emerges, accompanied by a subtle, creamy vanilla-like character. Despite its 8.3% ABV, the beer remains remarkably smooth, offering a velvety mouthfeel that softens the firm hop bitterness. It is a complex sensory experience where old-school hop character meets modern, juicy intensity.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange; hazy to opaque with a moderate-sized, persistent, creamy off-white head and excellent lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring a pungent dank quality and fresh pine resin. These primary notes are layered over high tropical fruit esters, ripe red berries, and a supportive, neutral, bready malt background. Clean fermentation profile with a soft hint of alcohol.

Taste. Strong, complex hop flavors dominated by resin and pine, quickly followed by tropical fruit and berry sweetness. A unique creamy, vanilla-like flavor provides a soft counterpoint to the moderately high bitterness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, clean hop character and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full, velvety body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present, complementing the beer's substantial weight without being solventy.
