This Double New England IPA, a collaboration between Nano Cinco and Brasserie du Bas-Canada, delivers an explosive sensory experience centered on New Zealand hop artistry. Utilizing Rakau, Motueka, and the experimental Nelson Sauvin Bliss Process, the beer presents a lush profile of tropical thiols. The aroma and palate are saturated with vivid notes of ripe mango, red grapefruit, and litchi, complemented by the signature white wine and lime zest character of the Nelson Sauvin. A soft, pillowy malt backbone supports the high hop intensity, leading to a smooth finish where clean bitterness meets well-integrated warmth, highlighting a sophisticated terpene-driven complexity.
Appearance.Deep straw to light gold (4-6 SRM). Opaque and hazy with a thick, persistent, creamy white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent mango, litchi, and red grapefruit. Notes of crushed white grapes, gooseberry, and fresh lime zest are supported by a light, bready, neutral malt character and very low fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression is a wave of tropical fruit including mango and citrus. Strong hop flavors of grapefruit and lime follow, balanced by a soft, grainy malt sweetness. Bitterness is moderate and smooth, providing structure without harshness. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering aftertaste of tropical fruit and white wine.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation. A smooth, restrained alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its strength without any harshness or astringency.
