This Double IPA from SingleCut Beersmiths delivers an intense sensory experience that belies its 8.2% strength. The profile is defined by a massive citrus and pine-forward hop presence, reflecting the brewery's signature focus on dank characteristics. Aromas of fresh-cut pine, bright grapefruit, and delicate floral notes lead into a flavor profile where a sharp citrus punch meets a resinous, dank bitterness. While the hop impact is aggressive, the malt backbone remains supportive and clean, ensuring a surprisingly smooth mouthfeel for the ABV. It finishes dry with a lingering resinous bite, perfectly capturing the high-impact spirit of a modern American strong ale.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange-copper (SRM 8); features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing and good clarity.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring pungent resinous pine, grapefruit zest, and a distinct dank earthiness, supported by a neutral, grainy malt background and very low fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression is a wave of citrus peel and pine needles. Malt flavor is low and unobtrusive, providing a soft bready foundation for a firm, aggressive bitterness. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering aftertaste of resin and floral hops.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture and medium-high carbonation; features a well-integrated, restrained alcohol warmth without hop-derived astringency.
