Atlantic Ave

Tap to rate

Atlantic Ave arrives honey yellow and hazy, its silky veil inviting at first glance. The aroma opens on ripe tropical fruit — papaya, passion fruit, mango and creamy pineapple. On the palate the mouthfeel is soft and plush, almost smoothie-like, carrying the fruit through without sharp edges. A piney bitterness emerges in the finish, cutting the lingering sweetness. A double IPA built for the evening: potent at 8.2 percent, yet approachable.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and plush, almost smoothie-like in texture, delivering tropical fruit through the mid-palate with minimal astringency. Mouthfeel is full-bodied yet approachable; the creaminess carries sweetness without heaviness. A piney bitterness emerges mid-to-finish, cutting through the residual sweetness with moderate assertiveness.

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.
