🌍 Canada · Double West Coast IPA · One of 1 Double West Coast IPAs in hopIQ

Deep orange under a bright white head, left unfiltered. Passion fruit, guava, lemon and white grape burst out of the glass, with a hint of evergreen and something close to cotton candy. Soft alcohol warmth sits beneath the hops. The body is full but gentle on the palate, the juicy tropical flavour carries through, and the slightly dry finish snaps back with a bracing bitterness. Released in January.

Assertively bitter and very dry.

The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Wider bands mean we're less certain about the exact position.

Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical stone fruit—passion fruit and guava lead, accompanied by bright citrus notes of lemon and white grape. Beneath these sits a subtle piney evergreen character and a whisper of cotton candy sweetness, suggesting careful hop selection and timing. Alcohol warmth is perceptible but restrained.

Taste

The palate enters soft and juicy, tropical fruit flavors rolling across the tongue with a full but supple body that never feels heavy. Mid-palate maintains that fruity sweetness while building toward a bracing, dry finish where noble bitterness asserts itself cleanly. The balance favors fruit through the swallow, with hop bitterness arriving as a satisfying snap rather than a harsh bite.

Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, with citric and piney hop character lingering on the palate. Slight warming from alcohol remains subtle, allowing the bitterness to fade gracefully into a crisp, thirst-quenching aftertaste.
