Nomade Brewery Old Habits
This Double IPA showcases a bold hop profile defined by the classic interplay of Centennial and Idaho 7. The sensory journey begins with an intense bouquet of floral citrus and resinous pine from the Centennial, quickly layered with the pungent tropical fruit, stone fruit, and black tea notes characteristic of Idaho 7. At 8.7% ABV, the beer presents a smooth, integrated alcohol warmth that bolsters a firm bitterness without becoming harsh. The lean malt structure ensures a dry, crisp finish, allowing the complex hop oils to linger on the palate with echoes of grapefruit and forest floor.
Appearance. Gold to deep copper (8–12 SRM) with a slight haze from the intensive double dry-hopping. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with significant lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma with prominent notes of grapefruit, resinous pine, and lemon zest. Deeper layers reveal tropical pineapple, apricot, and a hint of herbal tea. Malt is very low and neutral, while the fermentation profile remains clean with a subtle, smooth alcohol note.
Taste. Strong hop flavors of citrus peel, pine needles, and ripe stone fruit dominate. Bitterness is high and firm, providing a sharp but clean counterpoint to a very low, grainy malt character. The finish is decisively dry and clean, leaving a long, lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste with no harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A noticeable but well-restrained alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow without being solventy or hot. Free of hop-derived astringency.
