This powerful Double IPA presents a saturated hop profile driven by the iconic trio of Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic. True to its name, it bridges the gap between earthy resin and vibrant tropical fruit. The Simcoe delivers deep piney notes, while Citra provides a sharp citrus punch, and Mosaic rounds out the profile with layers of blueberry and mango. Despite its significant strength and rich, velvety body, it maintains the drinkability expected of the style. The experience is intensely juicy and substantial, offering a heavy saturation of hop oils that linger long after the clean, bitter finish.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (8 SRM). Large, persistent off-white head with dense lacing. Good clarity, though a soft, modern hop haze is present.
Aroma.Intense hop-forward bouquet. Dominant notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and mango are anchored by a dank, piney, and slightly herbal earthiness. Low, clean, neutral grainy malt remains in the background with a faint hint of alcohol warmth.
Taste.High hop intensity mirrors the aroma with pineapple, citrus zest, and resinous spruce. Firm but smooth hop bitterness balances a soft, supportive malt base. The fermentation profile is clean, leading to a medium-dry finish with a lingering fruity and piney aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the powerful character without being solventy or harsh.
