The Cowboy & The Poodle

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a subtle hazy veil from wheat and oat adjuncts. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Bright carbonation visible throughout, lending a lively visual impression to this approachable Double IPA.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads immediately with stone fruit—peach and nectarine dominate, underscored by tropical passion fruit notes. A subtle herbaceous and resinous character from the Peacharine hops threads through the mid-range. No sharp alcohol burn despite the 7.8% ABV; the aroma remains clean and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and creamy, driven by oat and wheat malts that build a rounded body on the palate. Stone fruit and dark fruit layers unfold through the middle, balancing sweetness with a mildly bitter, lightly resinous hop presence. The 50 IBU sits comfortably—noticeable but never harsh, allowing the fruit character to remain the focal point.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, with a subtle resinous drying effect that lingers pleasantly. A faint citrus and herbal echo rounds out the aftertaste without lingering bitterness.
