This Double New England IPA presents a saturated tropical profile driven by a trio of international hops. The Bru-1 hop delivers distinctive notes of ripe pineapple and guava, while Galaxy introduces punchy layers of passion fruit. Nelson Sauvin provides a sophisticated counterpoint with its hallmark Sauvignon Blanc and crushed white grape character. The experience is exceptionally rich and silky, reflecting a soft malt backbone that supports the intense hop load without becoming heavy. A clean fermentation allows the vivid fruit expressions to lead, resulting in a modern, hop-forward profile that balances its potency with a luxurious, velvety texture and persistent tropical finish.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (7-9 SRM). Opaque to heavy haze typical of the New England style. Large, persistent, creamy white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma featuring prominent guava, pineapple, and tropical fruit from Bru-1 and Galaxy. Distinctive vinous, white grape notes from Nelson Sauvin are highly apparent. Low, neutral to bready malt in the background with a clean fermentation profile and a subtle, smooth alcohol presence.
Taste.Immediate impact of tropical passion fruit and sweet pineapple. The mid-palate reveals guava and gooseberry nuances, finishing with a lingering Sauvignon Blanc character. Malt flavor is low but supportive and soft. Bitterness is firm but smooth, lacking harshness, leading to a medium-dry, hop-saturated aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a characteristic silky, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation and a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. No hop-derived astringency or harshness.
