Double Blizzard

◎ Appearance

Semi-hazy gold with a bright, luminous quality that catches light pleasantly. The head forms densely and clings to the glass with notable persistence, laying down distinct rings of lacing with each sip. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, creating a fine, sustained bead.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive citrus and candied pineapple, supported by a soft, resinous pine backbone. Cooler-temperature kettle additions of Centennial, Chinook and El Dorado provide a measured noble-hop character, while the heavy dry-hop load of Chinook and Galaxy amplifies tropical stone fruit and a subtle leafy spiciness. Beneath these hop layers lies a clean, slightly grainy wheat presence.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and full-bodied, with hop bitterness emerging quickly and evolving across the mid-palate into a complex blend of grapefruit rind, white peach and herbal pine. The wheat grist (Pilsner, unmalted and white wheat) adds a subtle grainy structure and slight silkiness without overriding the assertive hop profile. Bitterness persists evenly without becoming harsh, and the 8.3% alcohol remains well-concealed, lending only a gentle warming undertone.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with resinous hop notes extending well into the aftertaste. Bitterness fades gradually, leaving behind a clean, grassy-pine impression and a faint herbal warmth.
