This Double IPA delivers a vibrant sensory experience driven by a double dry-hopped profile featuring Mandarina Bavaria and Azacca hops. The aroma is dominated by bright tangerine and zesty citrus notes from the Mandarina Bavaria, harmonizing with ripe mango and tropical pineapple cues from the Azacca. A lean, neutral malt foundation keeps the focus on the hop intensity, avoiding excessive sweetness or heavy caramel. Despite its strength, the beer maintains high drinkability with a firm, clean bitterness and a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth. It concludes with a crisp, dry finish that leaves a lingering impression of resinous fruit and citrus oils.
