This Double IPA delivers a formidable sensory experience anchored by an intricate hop profile. The inclusion of Eclipse and Citra drives a bold citrus core of mandarin orange and zesty grapefruit, while Galaxy and Strata introduce lush tropical layers of passionfruit and ripening peach. At 8.5% ABV, the beer exhibits a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth that complements its lean, neutral malt base. It pours with a persistent white head and offers a firm, clean bitterness that defines the style's assertive character. The finish is strikingly dry and crisp, allowing the vibrant, resinous, and fruity hop notes to linger long after each sip.
