Bolero Super Item.

Tap to rate

Named with a nod to Lucrecia Dalt's “Bolero Super Item”, this 8.0% multi-oat double IPA is hopped exclusively with Nelson Sauvin, used in three forms (T90, Cryo and SubZero Hop Kief) to stack several layers of the same hop. Pine and spruce run through a hazy body that feels creamy and coating.

◌ Aroma

Nelson Sauvin dominates across all three extraction forms, yielding layered pine and spruce notes that form the core of the nose. Beneath the resinous character, subtle tropical and citrus undertones emerge—passionfruit and grapefruit zest—while a soft, creamy malt base provides gentle sweetness and body. The overall aromatic profile is assertive yet balanced, without harshness.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and full-bodied, with piney and resinous hop bitterness establishing itself immediately on the palate. Mid-palate reveals the multi-oat composition contributing to a smooth, coating creaminess that softens the 50 IBU bite; tropical notes and citric brightness peek through the resiny foundation. The bitterness is persistent but never astringent, maintaining clarity and definition throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with pine and spruce notes extending into a medium-length aftertaste. Residual hop oil coats the palate without leaving a sticky or unpleasant sensation, while the creamy undertone fades gracefully.

Tulip glass

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