This Double IPA is a sensory showcase of Strata hops, delivering an intense aromatic profile of tropical passion fruit, bright citrus, and a distinctive resinous dankness. Built on a foundation of Pilsner malt, the grist is dominated by fifty percent Montana-grown oats and a touch of wheat, creating a remarkably soft, pillowy texture. Despite the high hop saturation from a massive double dry-hop addition, the beer maintains a smooth character. The palate is flooded with notes of strawberry and grapefruit, supported by a subtle, grainy sweetness that transitions into a clean, moderately bitter finish with well-integrated alcohol warmth.
