What is a Double IPA?

Appearance

Of Foam and Fury presents a bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent white head.

golden-amberwhite headbrightwell-carbonated

Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by tropical fruit and citrus notes, with prominent mango and grapefruit aromas from the Citra and Simcoe hop combination. Underlying piney and resinous qualities add complexity and depth, complementing the assertive hop character without overwhelming the senses. A subtle malt sweetness provides balance to the aggressive aromatic profile.

Taste

The palate opens with a bold hop bitterness (75 IBU) that is well-integrated into the full-bodied malt base, creating excellent balance. Mid-palate delivers waves of citrus, tropical fruit, and resinous pine flavors with a dry, gripping texture. The finish maintains hoppy character while the 8.5% ABV provides subtle alcohol warmth without harshness, making this remarkably drinkable for its strength.

Finish

The finish is crisp and dry with a lingering, gently resinous aftertaste that fades gradually. Hop bitterness persists pleasantly without becoming astringent, encouraging another sip of this dangerously quaffable Double IPA.
