Between Time is a lush Double IPA that showcases a sumptuous body built on a foundation of Pale and Pilsner malts, fortified with a heavy addition of oats and wheat. The sensory profile is dominated by a complex hop blend of Cashmere, Waimea, and a triple threat of Citra, Citra Cryo, and Citra Spectrum. Expect an intense aromatic burst of dank pineapple and sweet cantaloupe, reminiscent of a Singapore Sling cocktail. The addition of lactose contributes a creamy, vanilla mango sorbet character that softens the high hop impact. It concludes with a refreshing, light meadowsweet bitterness that balances its significant 8.5% ABV.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (7-9 SRM) with a significant, opaque haze. Features a thick, persistent, creamy white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma with prominent notes of resinous pine, dank tropical fruit, pineapple, and melon. A supportive, sweet, and doughy malt character is present, complemented by a light vanilla-like sweetness from lactose.
Taste.Strong, complex hop flavors of ripe mango, citrus zest, and tropical fruit skins. Moderately high bitterness is present but tempered by a soft, bready malt presence and residual lactose sweetness. The finish is remarkably smooth for the style, with a lingering fruit-forward aftertaste and a clean, floral bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full to full body with a velvety, creamy texture provided by oats and lactose. Moderate carbonation with a well-integrated, smooth alcohol warmth that avoids being hot or solventy.
