Saturn V by Epic Brewing Company is a captivating American Double Imperial IPA that showcases the brewery's expertise. This pale ale pours a deep golden-orange color, with a dense white head that leaves a thick, lacy ring around the glass. The aroma is complex and intensely hoppy, offering notes of citrus, grapefruit, orange, tropical fruit, pineapple, mango, pine resin, and earthy spice. A subtle hint of malty sweetness helps to balance the hop-forward profile. The flavor profile is equally vibrant and bold, with citrus and tropical fruit flavors dominating initially, followed by a wave of piney bitterness that lingers on the palate. The malty backbone provides some sweetness and structure, but it remains mostly in the background, allowing the hops to take center stage. With a medium-full body and a smooth, velvety texture, Saturn V has a moderate carbonation that enhances the overall drinkability. This exceptional American Double Imperial IPA is a standout beer that showcases Epic Brewing Company's mastery, appealing to both hopheads and casual beer drinkers alike.
