This Double IPA presents a lush, sensory-forward profile defined by its complex hop saturation. Utilizing a blend of six hop varieties, it delivers an intense bouquet of tropical fruit and citrus oils. The inclusion of Munich malt, oats, and wheat creates a velvety, soft foundation that balances the aggressive whirlpool and dry-hop additions. Despite its strength, the bitterness remains integrated and approachable, favoring juicy saturation over harsh resin. The German and English base malts provide a clean, slightly bready backdrop that allows the hop character to shine, finishing with a smooth, lingering fruitiness and a well-hidden 8% ABV.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange-copper (8-10 SRM). Features a persistent, dense white head with fine lacing. While the style allows clarity, the use of oats and wheat creates a soft, attractive haze.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma featuring heavy tropical fruit, bright citrus, and a hint of resinous pine. A supportive, slightly bready malt backbone from the Munich and base malts is evident, with a clean fermentation profile and a very subtle alcohol sweetness.
Taste.Explodes with juicy hop flavors including ripe stone fruit and zesty citrus. The malt presence is soft yet substantial, with grainy sweetness and a smooth, creamy texture from the oats and wheat. Bitterness is firm but lacks any harsh edge, providing necessary balance to the strength. The finish is medium-dry with a long, fruit-forward aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a notable creaminess and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, without any hop-derived astringency.
