Hyperdrive

Tap to rate

A hazy double IPA that leans on fruit rather than resin. Passionfruit, peach and berry notes carry the aroma, and the soft, rounded body keeps 8 percent from feeling weighty. Bitterness is deliberately low, so the beer stays lush and juicy through the middle and finishes without the drying bite a double IPA usually leaves behind.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hyperdrive

◎ Appearance

Golden-orange haze dominates the glass, with a pale straw undertone visible when held to light. A loose, pillowy head forms and recedes steadily, leaving thin Schaumkleiden on the walls. Fine carbonation produces a softly textured clarity throughout.

◌ Aroma

Tropical and stone fruit aromatics rise immediately—passionfruit and peach lead, with secondary notes of berry jam and citrus zest. Noble hops provide a floral undertone rather than resinous punch. Minimal Malz presence keeps the bouquet fruit-forward and bright.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and juicy, with peach and passionfruit flavors coating the tongue without heaviness. Mid-palate remains lush and rounded; bitterness is restrained, allowing the fruity character to persist cleanly. The 8% ABV stays well-masked beneath the fruit and body structure.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and brief, drying gently without the resinous grip typical of double IPAs. A faint citrus and peach note lingers pleasantly, inviting another sip.

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.
