This massive Quadruple IPA delivers an intense sensory experience driven by a powerhouse trio of hops. Citra leads with vibrant notes of grapefruit and lime zest, while Nelson Sauvin adds sophisticated layers of white wine grape and crushed gooseberry. Strata rounds out the profile with pungent passionfruit and a distinctively dank herbal finish. Despite its potent 11.5% ABV, the beer maintains a surprisingly clean profile, emphasizing hop saturation over heavy malt sweetness. The collaboration between Third Moon and Salama Brewing results in a lush, tropical, and highly aromatic ale that pushes the boundaries of the Double IPA style while remaining dangerously smooth and warming.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange-copper (SRM 7-10). Presents with a moderate haze characteristic of high-gravity hopping. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus (grapefruit), tropical fruit (passionfruit), and white wine grapes. Background notes of resin and a slight herbal dankness. Malt is clean and neutral-grainy. A noticeable but smooth alcohol presence is detectable.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of tropical and citrus fruit. Strong flavors of lime zest, white grape, and passionfruit lead into a moderately high, firm bitterness that avoids harshness. Malt character is supportive and soft, providing a neutral backdrop for the hops. The finish is medium-dry with a long, lingering hoppy aftertaste and clean alcohol warmth.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation. Features a notable, warming alcohol presence that is well-integrated and lacks solventy heat. No hop-derived astringency.
