This West Coast Double IPA delivers an intense sensory experience driven by a potent trio of hops. Simcoe leads with sharp resinous pine and earthy undertones, while Citra contributes bright grapefruit and lime zest. Ekuanot rounds out the profile with complex layers of mango, melon, and a hint of berry. At 8.5% ABV, the beer presents a powerful but clean character, supported by a neutral, grainy malt backbone. The finish is strikingly dry and features a vivid, lingering bitterness characteristic of the style, ensuring high drinkability despite its significant strength and aromatic depth.
