Prepare to embark on a hop-fueled adventure with Epic Brewing Company's Here Be Dragons, a triple IPA that pushes the boundaries of hop character and aroma. This bold brew pours a deep golden hue, topped with a persistent off-white head that leaves intricate lacing on the glass. The aroma is an intense symphony of tropical fruit and citrus, with notes of mango, pineapple, grapefruit, and lime. Hints of pine and resin add a subtle earthy complexity, creating a captivating and inviting bouquet. The flavor profile explodes with a burst of juicy, ripe fruit flavors. Sweetness from the hops is balanced by a moderate bitterness, creating a harmonious balance. Notes of passion fruit, orange, and peach dominate the palate, complemented by subtle hints of caramel and biscuit malt. The medium-bodied, velvety smooth mouthfeel is enhanced by a lively carbonation, providing a refreshing presence on the tongue without overpowering the flavors. The finish is long and lingering, with a balanced bitterness that complements the sweetness of the malt, allowing the hop flavors to evolve over time and reveal additional layers of citrus and tropical fruit notes.
