This vibrant Double IPA delivers a concentrated burst of Southeast Asian-inspired flavors, layering sharp lime zest and juicy passionfruit over a base of creamy toasted coconut. The addition of lactose provides a silken backdrop for a bold hop profile, characterized by high-intensity tropical fruit and citrus notes. Mikkeller balances the assertive bitterness typical of a Double IPA with a smooth, velvety texture, creating an exotic sensory profile where the punch of citrus meets the rounded sweetness of tropical stone fruit. It concludes with a clean, lingering bitter finish that keeps the lactose-driven sweetness in check while maintaining a refreshing tropical presence.
Appearance.Gold to light orange-copper (6-10 SRM) with a slight haze from fruit and lactose additions. Topped with a moderate-sized, persistent, white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity featuring prominent tropical fruit notes of passionfruit and citrusy lime zest. Subtle toasted coconut provides a creamy aromatic layer, supported by a neutral, slightly sweet malt character and a clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp burst of lime and tangy passionfruit, quickly followed by a supportive, clean, soft malt backbone. Moderate to high bitterness provides structure without harshness. The toasted coconut and lactose contribute a smooth mid-palate sweetness that balances the hop-forward profile. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering hoppy and tropical aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture enhanced by lactose. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. Low, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but subtle.
