This Double IPA showcases a vibrant spectrum of modern hop aromatics supported by a soft foundation of white, red, and flaked wheat. The 8% ABV provides a sturdy backbone for an intense profile of crushed concord grape and dank melon, transitioning into bright layers of pineapple and tropical passionfruit. Utilizing a blend of American and Australian hops, the beer balances high hop intensity with a clean, grainy malt character. The result is a powerful yet drinkable ale that emphasizes fruit-forward hop complexity over heavy malt sweetness, finishing with a crisp, lingering bitterness typical of the style.
Appearance.Deep gold to pale orange (7-9 SRM) with a prominent, creamy white head that exhibits excellent persistence and thick lacing. The inclusion of flaked wheat contributes a notable, soft haze.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring distinctive notes of vinous concord grape, musky dank melon, and ripe pineapple. A secondary layer of passionfruit is supported by a clean, grainy wheat malt scent and a very low, clean alcohol presence.
Taste.Dominant hop flavors of tropical passionfruit and sweet pineapple lead into a mid-palette characterized by dank melon and a unique grape-like quality. Bitterness is high but refined, lacking harshness. The malt provides a soft, bready wheat support that allows the hops to shine through a dry, clean finish with a long, resinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture derived from the heavy wheat grist. Carbonation is moderate-high. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without being solventy or hot.
