Very dry and assertively bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Loophole Technicality
◎ Appearance
Loophole Technicality presents a hazy, golden-amber pour with excellent clarity within its intentional cloudiness from suspended yeast and hop matter. A soft, pillowy white head forms generously and clings to the glass with inviting persistence, leaving delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. The body shows medium-full viscosity with lively carbonation that sustains the visual appeal throughout.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit character—ripe mango and passionfruit dominate, complemented by bright citrus zest and tangerine notes. A resinous pine backbone grounds the profile without overshadowing the fruit, while subtle doughy sweetness emerges from the Malz in the mid-distance. The aromatic presentation is clean and inviting, with no oxidative or off-character notes.
◐ Taste
The palate enters with a lush, stone fruit-forward character that carries waves of tangerine and peach across the mid-palate. The doughy sweetness from the Malz provides balance and smoothness, preventing any sharp edges. Bitterness is present and measured at 80 IBU, positioning itself as a supporting player rather than the dominant force, allowing the hop-derived fruit to remain in the foreground.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the tropical warmth lingering pleasantly without becoming sticky or cloying. The aftertaste extends refreshingly long, fading gradually through gentle citrus and resin notes.

Finding a similar Double IPA
