The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Rhinegeist Knowledge DIPA
◎ Appearance
Knowledge displays a brilliant golden amber hue with excellent clarity and vibrant luminosity. A thick, creamy white head forms upon pour and displays impressive retention, indicative of quality malt and hop character. Fine carbonation contributes to the beer's lively, appetizing presentation.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by pungent, resinous hop character with prominent Citra citrus and grapefruit notes layered alongside earthy Simcoe pine. Tropical fruit esters add complexity, with subtle floral undertones from Mosaic hops creating an inviting, multi-dimensional bouquet. A gentle malt backbone supports without overwhelming the aggressive hop profile.
◐ Taste
The palate delivers bold, assertive hop bitterness from the 90 IBU charge, with a full-bodied malt structure providing necessary balance and smoothness. Flavors of candied citrus, grapefruit, and piney resin dominate the mid-palate, while tropical and stone fruit notes emerge subtly. The 9% ABV adds warming alcohol character without sacrificing drinkability, creating the 'dangerously smooth' profile promised.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and persistently bitter, with lingering pine and resinous notes coating the palate. The alcohol warmth fades gracefully, leaving a clean, satisfying aftertaste that invites another sip.
