Hops: Simcoe, Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial and Columbus. Aged in a neutral oak barrel.
Visually, the color is a beautiful coppery ochre and the foam becomes rather abundant.
On the nose, it smells of exotic fruit salad with a little woody and honeyed side.
On the palate, the beer is surprisingly dry for a double IPA and the texture is rather effervescent and airy.
The fruity and tropical side is enhanced by a malty taste reminiscent of butterscotch and honey. Also, citrus flavors like tangerine stand out a lot and give the beer a nice freshness!
A resinous bitterness manifests itself while being well enveloped by the residual sugar. Finally, the woody notes complete the tasting experience by adding a nice complexity without being too present.
I don’t remember ever tasting a beer like this. It’s different and really enjoyable! I want more! 😉
