Incognito

Tap to rate

A 7.6% double IPA that reached supermarkets and export markets in spring 2025. Vocation calls it bold and complex: Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Galaxy hops deliver a hit of zesty citrus with undertones of tropical fruit and resinous pine. Tasters place it in West Coast territory, noting grapefruit, lemon, peach and apricot on the nose, a marmalade-like malt sweetness, a firm citric bitterness and a dry finish. The grain bill includes oats and wheat alongside barley.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—zesty lemon and grapefruit—followed by softer tropical fruit undertones of peach and apricot. A resinous pine character emerges as the beer warms, grounding the aromatic profile in classic West Coast hop territory. Subtle Malz sweetness supports the hops without dominating the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a firm citric bitterness that carries grapefruit and lemon notes into the mid-palate. A marmalade-like Malz sweetness from oats and wheat provides balance without cloying, while the resinous, piney hop character remains prominent throughout. The body is full and satisfying, with the 7.6% ABV well-concealed beneath the hop intensity.

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.
