This Specialty IPA, crafted in the Cascadian Dark Ale tradition, presents a sophisticated interplay between dark malts and vibrant New Zealand hops. The aroma is led by the stone fruit and tropical notes of Rakau, complemented by the classic citrus and floral zest of NZ Cascade. On the palate, a gentle foundation of cacao and light roast provides a smooth, dark backdrop without being overly burnt or ashy. The high bitterness is well-integrated, leading to a dry finish where citrus oils and resinous hop character linger alongside a subtle, toasty malt depth.
Appearance.Deep opaque black (35-40 SRM) with a moderate, persistent tan head that leaves fine lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent apricot and plum from the Rakau hops, layered with grapefruit and floral notes of NZ Cascade. Background malt scents of cacao and light coffee are present but secondary to the hop profile.
Taste.Initial impression is hop-forward with tropical fruit and citrus zest. The malt flavor is medium-low, offering restrained chocolate and cacao notes without harsh burnt or ashy characteristics. Bitterness is firm and high, typical of the style, leading to a dry, clean finish with a lingering resinous and slightly roasted aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Moderate carbonation and a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that complements the roasted malt edge.
