This West Coast Double IPA delivers an intense sensory experience driven by a potent blend of HBC 1019, Citra, and Centennial hops. The aroma opens with vibrant grapefruit and resinous pine, supported by modern notes of tropical melon and peach. On the palate, a crisp, neutral malt base allows the sharp citrus and floral qualities of Centennial to shine alongside the complex, stone-fruit character of HBC 1019. A firm, clean bitterness from the hop load leads to a bone-dry finish. At 8.2% ABV, it displays a smooth alcohol presence that warms without distracting, maintaining the high drinkability characteristic of a modern Double IPA.
