This Double IPA presents an intense sensory profile defined by its 8% ABV and modern hop expression. Expect a saturated bouquet of tropical fruit and citrus oils that dominate the olfactory experience, supported by a clean, lean malt backbone. While labeled as a Double New England IPA by the brewer, it maintains the bold, assertive character expected of the style, delivering a smooth yet potent delivery of resinous and stone fruit notes. The finish is remarkably clean and dry for its strength, masking the alcohol well while ensuring high drinkability despite its significant hop saturation.
