This Imperial/Double IPA pours a hazy golden-amber color with a frothy white head that leaves a lingering lacing on the glass. The aroma explodes with an intense hop bouquet, revealing notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine, with dominant aromas of mango, guava, pineapple, grapefruit, and resinous pine needles. The initial sip greets the palate with a blast of juicy hop flavors, where mango, papaya, and pineapple stand out, while hints of grapefruit pith and citrus zest add complexity. The bitterness is assertive but well-balanced, providing a satisfying counterpoint to the sweetness. The medium to full-bodied mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, with a lively carbonation that creates a refreshing effervescence. The finish is long and lingering, with a gradual fade of the hop bitterness into a tropical fruit aftertaste.
