Stewart Brewing Problem Solved
Problem Solved is a sharp, assertive Double IPA crafted in collaboration with De Molen. At 7.5% ABV, it leans into the lower end of the style's strength, prioritizing drinkability alongside intense hop saturation. Prominent grapefruit and citrus zest dominate the profile, driven by a heavy-handed hop bill that provides a clean, firm bitterness. Unlike many clean American examples, this collaboration introduces a subtle, intriguing phenolic spice in the background, likely a signature of the De Molen yeast influence. The malt remains a quiet, grainy support, allowing the citrus-forward hop character to finish bone-dry and lingering.
Appearance. SRM 7-10. Clear, pale gold to light orange-copper with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves resilient lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring heavy grapefruit and sharp citrus zest. A supportive, neutral, and slightly grainy maltiness sits in the background. A low but noticeable spicy, peppery phenolic character is present, alongside very light fruity esters.
Taste. Strong citrus and grapefruit hop flavors lead into a moderately high bitterness that is firm but not harsh. A low, clean, soft malt character provides a brief grainy support before a dry finish. The mid-palate features a unique spicy phenolic note that leads into a lingering, bitter, hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
