King of Terrors

Tap to rate

King of Terrors is a New England IPA first brewed in autumn 2025 to mark the debut EP of the band President and sold continuously since then. It is built on extra pale malt, oats and wheat and hopped with Mosaic, Enigma and Sabro. The brewery calls it hoppy and juicy; the varieties point to blueberry and mango, red berries and white grape, and a coconut and tangerine note. The body is soft and full with some sweetness, and the bitterness is moderate for the strength, leaving a fruity, slightly creamy finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for King of Terrors

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden-yellow body, true to the New England IPA style, with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. The cloudiness comes from oats and wheat in the grain bill and suspension through yeast, giving the beer a soft, approachable visual character. Carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, supporting a creamy mouthfeel without aggressive fizz.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright stone fruit and berries—blueberry and red berry notes emerge clearly from the Mosaic and Enigma hops, while Sabro adds a distinctive coconut and citrus warmth. Underneath runs a subtle maltiness from the pale base, with hints of white grape and tangerine adding complexity. There is no sharp alcohol presence; instead, the aromatic profile feels rounded and juicy.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malt-forward, with gentle sweetness from the oat and wheat adjuncts providing body without cloyingness. Mid-palate reveals the tropical-to-floral character of the hop blend—mango and citrus notes sit comfortably alongside the berry undertones. Bitterness is restrained at 40 IBU, offering balance rather than aggression, while the finish tilts toward the fruity and slightly creamy side of the spectrum.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
