Dialed-In: Moscato

◎ Appearance

Dialed-In: Moscato presents a vibrant hazy gold, its turbidity from suspended yeast creating a soft, luminous quality rather than heavy cloudiness. The head forms quickly with fine carbonation, laying down delicate lacing as it recedes. Body appears medium-light, with excellent visual clarity despite the characteristic haze of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright grape and white stone fruit — peach and melon — alongside zesty lemon, creating a distinctly vinous character unusual for double IPAs. Noble hop varieties contribute white florals and citrus oils without aggressive resin, while a subtle sweetness from fermentation reminds of fresh juice. The overall impression is aromatic and inviting rather than piney or herbal.

◐ Taste

Entry brings bright pineapple and peach, with the stone fruit notes quickly softening into grape and melon as mid-palate develops. A creamy mouthfeel — unusual for a double IPA — carries these fruit flavors while moderate bitterness provides balance without dominating. The finish turns crisp and dry, with noble hop bitterness resolving cleanly rather than lingering aggressively.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and brief, moving quickly from fruity sweetness through a dry, clean conclusion. Aftertaste remains refreshing with faint grape and citrus notes, leaving no harsh bitterness or cloying residue.
