Cosmik Debris

Tap to rate

Citrus zest, melon and subtle pine lead the big, fruity aroma of this imperial IPA, hopped with Simcoe, Strata, Mosaic, Cascade and Chinook. Bitterness is firm and the malt character lighter, so the flavor lands soft and balanced. At 8.0% ABV it is the brewery's seasonal double IPA, available December through April.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus zest and fresh melon, supported by a distinct piney character from the blend of Simcoe, Strata, Mosaic, Cascade and Chinook hops. Beneath the hop-driven aromatics lies a subtle, clean malt base that provides foundation without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and resinous, with no harsh or oxidized notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fruity, with citrus and melon flavors carried forward from the aroma, followed by a measured piney bitterness that lands firm but not aggressive. Mid-palate maintains balance between the hoppy character and a lighter malt sweetness, avoiding any cloying or harsh edges. The 8% ABV remains unobtrusive, allowing the hop profile and subtle residual sweetness to define the experience.

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