Hop Invaders

Tap to rate

A deep golden double IPA built on heavy additions of the American hops Chinook, Centennial and Mosaic. Citrus and tropical fruit lead the nose, with a resinous edge behind them. The body is warm and sturdy, which keeps the hop load in proportion, and the finish turns firmly bitter and resinous without tipping the beer out of balance.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and warm, with malt sweetness balancing considerable hop charge. Mid-palate delivers sustained citrus and resin character without astringency, while the sturdy malt structure prevents the beer from becoming thin or one-dimensional. Bitterness builds steadily toward the finish.

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