Mountains Walking Brewery Opaque Thoughts - Tropical Cake
This Double IPA presents a lush, dessert-like experience, merging the intensity of a strong ale with the whimsical profile of a tropical confection. The aroma is dominated by a vibrant bouquet of passion fruit and creamy coconut, driven by a heavy dry-hop addition of Sabro and New Zealand Betty. Underlying notes of citrus and floral spice from New Zealand Cascade weave through a base of Pilsner malt and toasted rice. The addition of cake batter provides a rich, doughy sweetness, while oats and wheat contribute a velvety texture. It finishes with a tangy acidity from the fruit, balancing the decadent, cake-like richness.
Appearance. Pale gold (SRM 5-7), completely opaque and hazy. Features a thick, creamy, persistent white head with dense lacing.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics of tart passion fruit and sweet vanilla cake batter. Distinctive hop notes of coconut, tropical stone fruit, and zesty lime are prominent. A soft, grainy Pilsner malt backbone is present but secondary to the intense fruit and hop-derived esters.
Taste. Initial impression is of sweet tropical nectar and rich cake dough. Prominent coconut and pineapple flavors from Sabro and New Zealand Betty are supported by a citrusy New Zealand Cascade finish. Bitterness is firm but rounded and softened by the creamy malt profile and residual sweetness. A light passion fruit acidity provides a refreshing counterpoint to the sugary finish.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a distinctly creamy, lush texture from the oats and wheat. Carbonation is moderate. A smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 8%, without any harshness or astringency.
