This Double IPA presents a saturated hop experience, driven by the intense blueberry, papaya, and earthy pine notes of Mosaic and Mosaic Cryo. The addition of Gelato terpenes adds a unique, confectionery-like dankness, while lactose creates a latte-like silkiness that rounds out the assertive bitterness. Despite its 8% ABV, the profile remains focused on a lush, tropical fruit-forward intensity. The interplay between the resinous hop oils and the creamy mouthfeel results in a complex, modern interpretation of the style, balancing pungent aromatics with a smooth, lingering finish that bridges the gap between fruit and resin.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange-copper (7-10 SRM). Persistent, creamy white head with good lacing. Slight haze present due to heavy dry-hopping and the addition of lactose.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma featuring prominent blueberry, mango, and stone fruit derived from Mosaic. A distinct herbal, sweet, and slightly dank note from the Gelato terpenes. A supportive, sweet-cream maltiness sits in the background without any harsh solventy alcohol.
Taste.Strong and complex hop flavors of tropical fruit and resinous pine. Moderately high bitterness is present but tempered by the soft, unfermentable sweetness of lactose. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering hoppy aftertaste and a smooth, clean alcohol presence.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Medium carbonation. Low astringency with a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth consistent with its 8% strength.
