Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Elephino Double IPA
◎ Appearance
Deep golden amber with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. A dense, off-white head forms readily and maintains solid lacing down the glass, characteristic of the beer's robust malt structure and hop-driven character.
◌ Aroma
Intense hop-forward nose dominated by resinous pine and dank earth, with bright citrus and orange zest cutting through. Floral and herbal notes add complexity, while subtle malt backbone provides a clean, dry undertone beneath the aromatic intensity.
◐ Taste
Bold, assertive entry with pronounced hop bitterness and resinous character that builds through the mid-palate. Citrus and orange flavours integrate with subtle herbal spice and a clean, dry malt foundation. The 9.7% ABV adds warmth and body without obscuring the hop definition.
◑ Finish
Long, dry finish dominated by lingering bitterness and resinous hop residue. Warming alcohol and herbal spice notes persist, with a clean, bone-dry aftertaste characteristic of the style.
