Kaotik Kinetik

Tap to rate

Kaotik Kinetik is a West Coast IPA with an old-school feel, carrying loads of pine and tangerine on a clean, resinous body. It is hopped with Simcoe, Cascade, Mosaic Cryo and Mosaic DynaBoost. The brewery says it is inspired by the beautiful chaos of always being on the go, since life rarely seems to slow down and neither does the brewery.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by resinous pine and citrus aromatics, with prominent tangerine and orange notes cutting through. Beneath the hop profile lies a subtle, clean malt foundation that does not compete. The overall impression is fresh and grassy, with no solvent or phenolic distractions—a textbook West Coast character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, resiny bite that carries the pine character from aroma into flavor. Citrus sweetness—particularly orange—develops mid-palate alongside subtle tropical notes, balancing the 60 IBU bitterness without becoming cloying. The body is lean and clean, allowing the hop bitterness to linger without fatigue.

◑ Finish

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
