This vibrant Double IPA showcases an explosive aromatic profile driven by a heavy-handed application of Nelson, Citra, and Riwaka hops, further amplified by mega terps for maximum sensory impact. Expect an intense bouquet of crushed green grapes and gooseberry from the Nelson Sauvin, complemented by the tropical mango and bright grapefruit notes of Citra. Riwaka adds a distinct layer of zesty passionfruit and a hint of lime. Beneath the massive hop presence lies a lean, neutral malt backbone and a clean fermentation profile, finishing dry with a firm, lingering bitterness that emphasizes its high-strength character and modern hop-forward design.
