This Double IPA presents an intense saturation of modern hop character, reflecting a profile crafted from a vast library of consumer preferences. At 8.2% ABV, it radiates a potent bouquet of tropical fruit, ripe melon, and bright citrus, grounded by a clean, neutral malt base that keeps the focus entirely on the massive hop load. While leaning into the lush, juicy textures expected of a contemporary Double NEIPA, it retains the assertive presence of a traditional Double IPA. Expect a smooth, saturated experience where layers of stone fruit and resinous spice lead to a lingering, clean finish that balances its significant strength with remarkable drinkability.
