This Double IPA showcases the unique Slovenian Aurora hop, providing a sophisticated sensory profile that diverges from typical citrus-heavy American versions. The aroma is dominated by Aurora's signature floral, spicy, and herbal notes, layered over a clean, neutral malt base. On the palate, expect an assertive bitterness that carries flavors of wildflower, pine resin, and a subtle lime-like zest. True to its West Coast inspiration, the beer maintains a crisp, dry finish with high attenuation, allowing the complex hop character to linger without being obscured by heavy malt sweetness. It is a brilliant, hop-forward experience that emphasizes resinous intensity and herbal elegance.
