Nine Dogs

◎ Appearance

Nine Dogs presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that displays good retention and fine lacing as the glass empties. The carbonation is lively and consistent, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with classic noble hop character—floral and herbal notes—layered beneath with a pronounced passionfruit note that adds tropical complexity. Subtle grain sweetness supports the hop profile without dominating, creating a balanced aromatic entry.

◐ Taste

On the palate, crisp hop bitterness arrives cleanly, with the passionfruit undertone weaving through the mid-palate and providing a softer, fruit-forward character alongside traditional IPA spice. The body is full and structured for its 4.9% ABV, with a well-integrated malt backbone that neither overwhelms nor recedes.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness fading gracefully into a subtle stone-fruit aftertaste. The passionfruit character persists gently into the closing notes.
