This Double IPA is a collaborative powerhouse between Nano Cinco and Third Moon, showcasing an aromatic explosion driven by 100% Freestyle Hops. The profile is defined by vibrant waves of ripe peach and citrus zest, thanks to the heavy use of Peacharine and Motueka SubZero Hop Kief. Layers of tropical fruit and stone fruit emerge from the NZ Cascade and Rakau additions, creating a complex, punchy bouquet. Despite the 8% ABV, the beer maintains a velvety, onctueuse texture that masks its strength. A soft bitterness balances the juice-forward character, leading to a lingering, fruit-saturated finish that remains clean and remarkably smooth.
