🌍 USA · Red IPA · One of 15 Red IPAs in hopIQ

Blazing World pairs a dry amber malt base with the hop load of a double IPA, using Nelson, Mosaic and Simcoe. Oily, dank hop resin and pine lead, with grapefruit, citrus peel and a hint of spruce behind them. The amber malt adds light caramel and toast and a subtle fruitiness. It pours amber with an off-white head, and a firm bitterness dries out the finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with oily, dank hop resin and pronounced pine—hallmarks of the Nelson, Mosaic and Simcoe combination. Behind the resinous core lie bright grapefruit and citrus peel notes with a subtle herbal spruce quality. The amber malt contributes a light caramel sweetness and toasted grain character that balances the assertive hop profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a dry amber malt base that delivers light caramel and subtle fruit notes. Citrus and grapefruit flavors emerge in the mid-palate, supported by the spicy-herbal character of Nelson and the dank pine-resin backbone. The 60 IBU bitterness builds steadily, anchoring the generous hop load without overshadowing the malt foundation.
