This Double IPA presents an intense sensory experience driven by a massive Southern Hemisphere hop profile. Nectaron and Nectaron Cryo deliver a heavy punch of stone fruit and passion fruit, while Waimea adds citrus zest and subtle pine. Motueka provides a bright, lime-forward character that cuts through the robust 10% ABV. Despite its strength, the beer maintains a lean, supportive malt backbone of neutral grain. The aroma is saturated with tropical intensity, leading into a palate defined by firm bitterness and a remarkably dry, clean finish characteristic of the style, avoiding any cloying sweetness or heavy malt weight.

Appearance. Gold to light orange (SRM 7-10). Persistent, white, creamy head with dense lacing. Good clarity with a very slight, acceptable haze.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring dominant peach, passion fruit, and tropical melon from Nectaron. Bright lime and lemon zest from Motueka and Waimea. Low, neutral, grainy malt in the background. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.

Taste. Bold hop flavors mirroring the aroma: ripe stone fruit, citrus, and a hint of resinous pine. High bitterness that is firm but smooth, never harsh. Minimal malt presence, appearing as a soft, crackery substrate. Dries out significantly in the finish with a long, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily hop texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-restrained alcohol warmth that is smooth and not solventy.
