Peacharine Dream is an intensely aromatic Double IPA that showcases a saturated hop profile through the use of Citra incognito, Peacharine, and Nelson Bliss. The sensory experience is lead by a lush bouquet of ripe nectarine and white peach, layered with the distinctive crushed grape and gooseberry notes of Nelson Bliss. The addition of Nelson Bliss Hop Keif provides a concentrated resinous lift, enhancing the tropical fruit complexity. This New England-influenced expression offers a soft, pillowy mouthfeel that carries flavors of passion fruit and lime zest through to a smooth, rounded finish with remarkably integrated alcohol warmth.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (7-9 SRM) with an opaque, turbid clarity. Features a thick, persistent, creamy white head that leaves dense, sticky lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent stone fruit (peach, nectarine), tropical notes of passion fruit, and a distinct white wine character. A very low, neutral grainy-sweet malt serves as a background to the pungent hop oils.
Taste.Strong tropical and stone fruit flavors dominate the initial impression. Layers of tangerine, lychee, and ripe peach are supported by a soft, bready malt character. Hop bitterness is moderate and smooth, lacking any harshness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, juice-like fruitiness and clean fermentation profile.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, creamy, and velvety texture. Moderate carbonation with no hop-derived astringency. A well-restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but never solventy.
