This Double IPA provides a distinctive sensory experience by pairing old-school structural intensity with exclusively European hops. The aroma presents a sophisticated blend of floral, herbal, and spicy notes, diverging from typical New World citrus profiles. A sturdy malt base provides a grainy, slightly toasty support for the high-intensity bitterness, ensuring the 7.8% ABV remains well-integrated and smooth. The palate is dominated by frank, assertive hop flavors and a medium body that avoids being heavy. It concludes with a crisp, medium-dry finish and a lingering, clean bitterness, staying true to the style's roots while showcasing continental hop innovation.
Appearance.Deep gold to light copper (8-12 SRM); excellent clarity with a persistent, off-white, creamy head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma with prominent floral, spicy, and herbal notes typical of European varieties. A clean, supportive maltiness in the background features grainy and light caramel notes. A neutral fermentation profile with a soft, smooth alcohol presence.
Taste.Strong hop flavor echoing the floral and herbal aromatic profile, followed by a moderately high to high hop bitterness that is firm but not harsh. A medium, clean malt character provides enough toast and grain flavor to balance the bitterness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering hoppy aftertaste and a clean, warming sensation.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth texture; moderate to high carbonation. Notable but restrained alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
