This Double IPA celebrates the sensory legacy of Simcoe, delivering an intense profile characterized by resinous pine and vibrant citrus. It pours a deep gold with excellent clarity, releasing a punchy aroma of grapefruit zest and earthy woodsy notes typical of this classic variety. The palate is defined by a clean, assertive bitterness that cuts through a lean malt backbone of light grain and soft toast. Significant hop saturation provides layers of resin and passion fruit that linger into a bone-dry finish. At 8% ABV, it balances substantial hop intensity with remarkable drinkability, showcasing a refined take on the style's historical roots.
Appearance.Gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by resinous pine, grapefruit, and subtle tropical notes like passion fruit. Supportive, neutral-grainy malt in the background. Clean fermentation profile with a very light, smooth alcohol presence.
Taste.Strong and complex hop flavors of pine, resin, and citrus pith. Very high bitterness that is clean and lacks harshness. Low, unobtrusive malt character with a hint of breadiness. Finishes medium-dry to dry with a long, lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from hop oils. Medium-high carbonation. Noticeable but restrained, smooth alcohol warmth. No harsh hop-derived astringency.
