This Double IPA showcases an assertive sensory profile driven by a potent dry-hop combination of Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe. The aroma leads with high-intensity notes of grapefruit pith, tropical mango, and a distinct resinous pine. A clean, neutral malt base allows these hop characteristics to dominate without the cloying sweetness often found in high-gravity ales. On the palate, the hop bitterness is firm yet refined, supported by a smooth, medium-bodied texture and a well-integrated alcohol presence reflecting its 8.5% strength. The experience concludes with a crisp, dry finish and a lingering citrus and evergreen aftertaste that invites another sip.
