This Double IPA showcases a vibrant, saturated hop profile driven by heavy dry-hopping with Galaxy, Riwaka, and Mosaic. Expect an explosion of tropical fruit, specifically passionfruit and grapefruit, layered over complex notes of blueberry and stone fruit. The neutral malt backbone provides a soft, supportive platform for the intense hop character without adding distracting sweetness. Despite its strength, it remains remarkably drinkable with a clean, dry finish. The sensory experience is dominated by the interplay of these New World hops, delivering a punchy, resinous, and fruity character that defines the modern, high-intensity interpretation of the Double IPA style.
Appearance.Light gold to pale orange (6-8 SRM). It displays a moderate haze from the heavy dry-hop additions, topped with a persistent, creamy white head and significant lacing.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma featuring dominant tropical notes of passionfruit and mango from the Galaxy and Riwaka. Mosaic adds layers of ripe berry and peach. Background notes of citrus zest and a hint of dank resin are supported by a neutral, clean, and lightly grainy malt profile.
Taste.The initial impression is an explosion of passionfruit, mango, and ruby red grapefruit. Firm, moderately high bitterness provides balance without harshness. Mosaic hops contribute a subtle earthiness and dark fruit complexity in the mid-palette. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a long, lingering citrus and resinous aftertaste, supported by a soft, unobtrusive malt character.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate carbonation provides a crisp lift. A noticeable but well-integrated and smooth alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
