Gravityphobia is a Triple Dry Hopped Hazy Double IPA that prioritizes a lush, velvety mouthfeel alongside a potent hop punch. The inclusion of Mosaic Incognito and Citra provides a deep foundation of tropical fruit and citrus, while Nelson Sauvin and Nelson Sauvin CGX impart a vivid, lychee-like juiciness. Simcoe adds a contrasting dankness that balances the inherent sweetness. Despite its high strength, a deliberate, extended maturation ensures a smooth, refined finish where the bitterness acts as a sturdy scaffold for the intense hop oils. The result is a saturated, fruit-forward experience that remains remarkably drinkable and structured.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (7-10 SRM); opaque with a thick, creamy, persistent white head and heavy lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring pronounced notes of lychee, passion fruit, and crushed white grapes. Supportive layers of resinous pine and damp earth provide a dank counterpoint, while a neutral, bready malt character sits quietly in the background.
Taste.Initial impression of juicy tropical sweetness quickly joined by complex flavors of mango, grapefruit, and berry. The bitterness is firm and well-defined, providing a dry, dank contrast to the soft malt base. The finish is long and resinous with lingering notes of citrus peel and tropical fruit esters.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, creamy, and pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, with no harsh hop-derived astringency.
