Double Delta

Tap to rate

Double Delta is Delta with more of everything: more hops, more alcohol, the same straight pale ale malt backbone, but a more neutral yeast so that Citra and Mosaic, including their Cryo forms, take the lead. Pine, resin, citrus and tropical notes carry the flavour. Magnum, Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic hops, 7.8% ABV, 33 IBU and 16.7 °Plato.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by resinous and piney hop character, with Citra and Mosaic varieties delivering prominent tropical and citrus notes. Beneath these lies a clean, neutral maltiness that serves as a backdrop rather than a focal point. The aromatic profile is fresh and intensely hoppy without veering into harsh or soapy territory.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with balanced bitterness that unfolds gradually across the mid-palate, where resinous and tropical hop flavours take centre stage. The pale malt provides a dry, slightly grainy foundation that supports rather than competes with the hop expression. At 7.8% ABV, there is a subtle warmth present, but it remains well-controlled and does not dominate the beer's structure.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long and dry, with lingering piney and resinous notes that fade gradually. A subtle alcohol warmth persists without becoming hot or unpleasant.

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.
