Modist Brewing Co. Double Local Dream Mirror
Imperial IPA 8.2 º
This collaborative New England Double IPA delivers a saturated hop profile through intense double dry-hopping with Citra, Mosaic, Sultana, Azacca, Amarillo, and El Dorado Cryo. The grain bill, featuring Pilsner malt, malted wheat, and oats, creates a creamy, pillowy foundation that supports exploding notes of pineapple, passion fruit, and bright citrus. Citra Cryo amplifies resinous grapefruit character, while Mosaic adds layers of earthy berry and mango. Despite its 8.2% ABV, the beer maintains exceptional drinkability with a soft, rounded bitterness and a lush, hazy presence, balancing tropical fruit intensity with a smooth, lingering, and juice-like finish.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange (7-9 SRM); thick, creamy, persistent white head with excellent lacing; opaque and hazy with a dense, juice-like turbidity.
Aroma. Intense hop-forward aroma dominated by tropical fruits like mango and pineapple; secondary notes of resinous citrus peel, stone fruit, and a hint of pine. Low, neutral grainy maltiness with a soft, sweet bready character from oats and wheat in the background.
Taste. Initial impression is a burst of ripe tropical fruit and citrus zest. Strong hop flavor featuring guava, passion fruit, and melon. Bitterness is moderately high but remains smooth and soft without harshness. Low, supportive malt character provides a cereal-like sweetness that balances the hop oils. The finish is medium-dry and clean with a long, fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a silky, pillowy texture from the heavy use of oats and wheat; moderate carbonation; light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated; no hop-derived astringency.
