This vibrant Double IPA centers on an exuberant display of Nectaron and Mosaic hops. The sensory experience begins with a tropical whirlwind of aromatics, specifically highlighting juicy peach, pineapple, and passion fruit. On the palate, the beer transitions into a lush, medium-full body with a soft, juice-like texture that delivers concentrated flavors of stone fruit, sweet citrus, and ripe mango. Despite its strength, the finish remains remarkably clean and refreshing, emphasizing hop saturation over malt weight. The interplay between the resinous depth of Mosaic and the stone fruit intensity of Nectaron defines this modern, fruit-forward interpretation of the style.
Appearance.Medium gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM). Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves sticky lacing. Modern clarity is slightly hazy but avoids opacity.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma featuring heavy tropical fruit notes of pineapple and passion fruit, coupled with stone fruit (peach, mango) and sweet citrus. Very low, neutral maltiness in the background. Fermentation profile is clean with a hint of fruity esters. No solventy alcohol.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of tropical and stone fruit flavors. High hop bitterness that is firm but smooth and never harsh. Minimal supportive neutral malt character. Flavors of sweet citrus and mango persist through the mid-palate. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering fruity and hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a noticeably soft, juicy, and smooth texture. Moderate carbonation. Alcohol provides a restrained, smooth warmth typical of its 8% strength. No hop-derived astringency.
