Very dry and assertively bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Cosmic Bowl
◎ Appearance
Cosmic Bowl presents a hazy golden-amber pour with excellent clarity for the style, revealing layers of warm amber beneath a soft, pillowy white head. The head clings persistently to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation appears well-integrated, creating a gentle effervescence without aggressive activity.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with ripe tropical fruit—prominent mango and tangerine—layered with bright citrus zest and a subtle pine resin undertone. These aromatic qualities are characteristic of the brewery's hop-forward philosophy, with the fruity esters well-balanced against herbal and resinous elements. No harsh solvent notes or oxidation are present.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with a lush malt base that delivers subtle sweetness and caramel notes to anchor the hop profile. The mid-palate unfolds with successive waves of juicy citrus and stone fruit character, while a firm but approachable bitterness rises steadily. The 8% ABV is well-concealed, providing warmth and depth without alcohol heat or harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish extends long and resinous, leaving a sustained citrus-forward glow on the palate and lingering pine character on the aftertaste. The bitterness fades gradually rather than abruptly, inviting another sip.

What is a Double IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar Double IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same tropical, hoppy, resinous character as Cosmic Bowl will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
