As Above, So Below

Tap to rate

A double IPA on four hops all pulling the same way: Nectaron and Strata from the newer generation, alongside Nelson Sauvin and Azacca. What comes out drips with peach, passionfruit, pineapple, strawberry and mango — with the dank, resinous hum underneath that gives it depth. At eight percent, a beer for autumn evenings rather than midday heat.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for As Above, So Below

◎ Appearance

A pale golden brew with gentle haze, betraying the four-hop blend at work. The head builds modestly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation registers as lively but restrained, appropriate to the beer's weight.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with stone fruit—peach and apricot—before tropical notes of passionfruit and mango emerge. Beneath runs a distinct resinous, dank undertone from the Edelhopfen, grounding the fruitiness with herbal depth and mild pine.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and fruity, with peach and mango leading. Mid-palate develops a satisfying bitterness—not aggressive, but present—layered with that resinous character. The finish carries citrus notes and lingering hop bite without astringency.

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.
