This Double IPA showcases a vibrant hop profile driven by Pro Strata, Lupocitra, Amarillo, and BRU-1. The sensory experience is defined by intense hop saturation, leading with pungent aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit, and resinous pine. Pro Strata provides a distinctively dank and tropical depth, while Lupocitra and Amarillo contribute layers of zesty citrus and stone fruit. The addition of BRU-1 introduces a sweet pineapple character. The profile is supported by a lean, neutral malt base that ensures a clean, dry finish. Despite its strength, the beer emphasizes drinkability with a firm but smooth bitterness that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
