Megalodom Citrus

Tap to rate

Juicy citrus punches over a strong, hop-forward backbone in this 10% triple IPA, the citrus take on Megalodom. Amarillo, Azacca, Citra, El Dorado, Crystal, Equinox and Nugget hops meet a malt bill of 2-row, Vienna, Carahell, rolled oats and dextrose, adding up to 70 IBU. For its strength it finishes smooth and balanced.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and tropical fruit notes—orange, grapefruit, and stone fruit are immediate. Beneath the fruit sits a pronounced resinous and piney character from the hop blend, with subtle floral and herbal undertones. The underlying malt provides a soft, biscuity foundation without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy citrus and stone fruit sweetness that carries through the mid-palate with notable fullness. Hoppy bitterness and resinous notes build steadily, reaching a moderate and well-integrated bite of around 70 IBU. Despite its 10% strength, the beer remains smooth and balanced, with the malt bill providing enough body to support the hop intensity without excess sweetness or harsh alcohol burn.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and dry, with lingering citrus and resinous hop notes fading gradually into a clean, crisp aftertaste. The alcohol warmth is present but never harsh, adding to the complexity rather than overwhelming the palate.

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.
