Big Island Brewhaus Overboard IPA

◎ Appearance

Overboard presents a bright golden amber hue with excellent clarity and a vibrant, persistent white head that clings to the glass. The carbonation is crisp and lively, creating fine bubbles that maintain excellent head retention throughout the tasting experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by assertive hop character, leading with bright citrus peel and resinous pine notes backed by tropical fruit aromatics. Secondary herbal and floral notes emerge beneath, with the malt providing subtle sweet backbone that doesn't overpower the aggressive hop profile.

◐ Taste

Entry brings bold citrus and grapefruit notes upfront, transitioning to a pronounced pine resin mid-palate with tropical fruit undertones. The 75 IBUs deliver a substantial but well-integrated bitterness, finishing with peppery herbal notes that prevent one-dimensional character while maintaining the hop-forward agenda.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry with lingering pine and grapefruit bitterness that extends pleasantly without becoming fatiguing. The herbal and peppery notes fade gracefully, leaving a clean, thirst-quenching aftertaste.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
