A one-off double IPA focusing on Nelson Sauvin hops.
With great body and a beautifully balanced bitterness, this new double IPA showcases aromatics of cedar and pepper, with bright flavours of grape, tropical fruit, citrus, subtle caramel, and a dry finish. Dangerously drinkable.
Malts: Munton’s Pale, Carahell, Carafoam, Rye, Wheat
Hops: Nelson Sauvin
Yeast: American Ale

Tasting at Matt’s, marked July 16 2015
Hazy light amber color. Pungent aroma, dry, lean mouthfeel, the malt flavor is a bit biscuity, not impressive, but very good hop flavor, pungent resins, some cedar peel and passion fruit; strong bitterness in the final.
Very good.

Goût de malt, houblon fruité, alcool, bonne amertume, côté vin blanc. Carbonatation moyenne-élevée, corps moyen-dense.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Nose brings out tangy citrus hops, some grass, almost herbal notes, and a good balance of biscuity malt. Flavour is robust, with tangy citrus hops dominating, slight herbal grass, and a touch of biscuity malt. Excellent balance. Really wonderful stuff.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours hazy orangeish amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and fruit, wi intense hoppy notes. Sweetish, fruity and malty flavour, with notes of hops and touches of orange peel and needles. Rough and estery aftertaste with hoppy notes. Decent.

We’ve all by this point have seen how damn amazing double IPAs can be, I hoping this is one. Pours a hazy orange with yellow edges, minimal white head that breaks down to a ring and lumps rather quickly. Nose is mildly sweet malts, but with stronger hops of resin, a little floral and a little onion. The taste is bright hoppiness with orange, onion, floral with a little resin, all supported by a mildly sweet malt. The aftertaste is like biting into an orange wedge that was cut on an onion-contaminate cutting board. Weird? I like it. Not mind-blowing but nice. Plus, I bow to the wisdom of creating a beer just to fulfill the possibly of a cool-sounding name, which had to be the origin-story here.
