This collaboration-driven Double IPA delivers a lush, tropical intensity defined by an eclectic blend of Loral, Motueka, and Enigma hops. The sensory profile leads with a saturated impression of sweet orange and ripe papaya, underscored by a subtle red berry nuance derived from the Enigma addition. Despite the substantial 10.5% ABV, the malt remains supportive and neutral, allowing the floral and lime-zest qualities of Loral and Motueka to remain at the forefront. The experience is incredibly fruit-forward and plush, balancing a moderate bitterness against a creamy, full-bodied texture that masks its significant strength with a clean, hop-saturated finish.
Appearance.Deep gold to pale orange (7-9 SRM). Modern hazy appearance with an opaque, juice-like clarity. Large, creamy, persistent white head with dense, sticky lacing.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma with dominant notes of tropical papaya, candied orange peel, and floral honey. Distinctive lime zest and crushed grape accents emerge as the glass warms. Neutral, slightly grainy malt backbone with very low yeast esters and a clean, noticeable alcohol sweetness.
Taste.Initial wave of sweet citrus and tropical fruit flavors, specifically ripe mango and papaya, followed by mid-palate notes of zesty lime and a hint of raspberry. Malt character is soft and doughy, providing a platform for firm but smooth bitterness. The finish is moderately dry with a lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied with a soft, pillowy, and creamy texture. Medium carbonation. Significant but well-integrated alcohol warmth that provides a smooth glow without being solventy or harsh. Low hop-derived astringency.
