Australia·Double West Coast IPA
Tap to rate

Dorkus Malorkus is a West Coast double IPA at 8.5% ABV, brewed with Found Beer in Perth for IPA Day 2026 to combine juiciness with a classic dry finish. Oats, flaked barley and wheat sit under a hop bill built almost entirely on Citra. It pours pale gold with a gentle haze and a fluffy white head. Passionfruit, peach, berries and bright citrus lead the aroma, followed by nectarine, light resin and a subtle dank note over a medium-full body. The bitterness is firm but measured, leaving a clean finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dorkus Malorkus

◎ Appearance

Pale gold in color with a gentle haze that speaks to the oat and flaked barley base. A fluffy white head forms and settles to a thin collar, demonstrating solid foam stability. Bright clarity beneath the haze suggests good balance between grain character and hop expression.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright passionfruit and peach, grounded by an undercurrent of berry and citrus brightness. Nectarine and subtle white stone fruit emerge on extended contact, layered beneath a light resinous edge and a soft dank note that adds depth without dominating. The aromatic profile reflects the Citra hop bill's characteristic tropical and stone fruit signature.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy stone fruit and citrus that fill the mouth with a medium-full body. Oats and flaked barley provide a soft, creamy mouthfeel that supports the hop-driven character without excess sweetness. Bitterness builds steadily through the mid-palate, firm and measured rather than aggressive, with a clean herbal-resinous quality that balances the fruit.

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.
