Fundamental Evil

◎ Appearance

Fundamental Evil presents a pale golden hue with a slight haze, characteristic of the Triple IPA style. The beer displays a firm, pillowy head with good retention and tight lacing that clings to the glass walls. Moderate carbonation is evident, creating a dynamic visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by aggressive, resinous dank hop character with prominent pine and herbal notes. A secondary wave of tropical fruit—stone fruit and citrus zest—emerges beneath the forefront of cannabis-like resins. Underlying malt sweetness is present but recessive, balanced against the assertive hop profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is bold and full-bodied, with immediate hop bitterness and resinous intensity across the palate. Mid-palate develops citrus and tropical fruit character, though dominated by sustained bitterness and drying hop oils. The 10% ABV presents as warming alcohol without harshness, supporting the beer's weight and complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and persistently bitter, with lingering dank and piney hop resins. Alcohol warmth carries through the aftertaste, leaving a dry, slightly astringent impression on the palate.
