This Triple New England Style IPA presents a saturated sensory profile driven by a potent trio of Mosaic, Citra, and Sabro hops. Intensely aromatic, it radiates layers of ripe mango, passion fruit, and bright tangerine, underpinned by the distinctive creamy coconut and lime notes characteristic of Sabro. Despite its formidable 10% strength, the experience remains remarkably smooth, showcasing a lush, velvety mouthfeel and a dense, opaque haze. The malt presence provides a soft, bready foundation that supports the heavy dry-hopping without competing, while a clean, well-integrated alcohol warmth rounds out the finish of this modern Double IPA.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange; opaque, hazy appearance. Large, creamy, persistent white head with significant lacing and excellent retention.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent mango and pineapple from Mosaic, paired with sharp grapefruit and lime from Citra. A secondary layer of coconut and cream from Sabro is distinct. Low, bready malt background; clean fermentation with very low stone fruit esters; detectable but smooth alcohol.
Taste.Immediate impact of tropical fruit nectar and zesty citrus. Sabro provides a unique creamy coconut flavor that integrates with the berry-like complexity of Mosaic. Hop bitterness is high but soft and rounded, avoiding harshness. Supportive, soft, grainy malt character. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering resinous and tropical fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and viscous with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth. Very low astringency despite the heavy hopping.
