Woodrows Apocolypse IIPA is a captivating Imperial India Pale Ale crafted by the talented brewers at Baylands Brewery in Tauranga, New Zealand. This beer is a true hop lover's delight, boasting an intense and complex aroma that will tantalize your senses. Upon pouring, the beer presents a deep golden hue with a dense, off-white head that leaves intricate lacing on the glass. The aroma is an explosion of hop-forward notes, featuring ripe pineapple, juicy grapefruit, tangy orange peel, and herbaceous pine. Hints of caramel and toffee provide a delicate balance to the hop character. The initial sip delivers a powerful burst of bitter hops, which quickly gives way to a sweet, fruity core. Tropical flavors of pineapple, mango, and passion fruit dominate, complemented by citrus notes of grapefruit and orange. The malt backbone provides a firm foundation, with hints of biscuit and caramel. The medium to full-bodied mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, with a lively and refreshing carbonation.
