Mammoth

Tap to rate

Mammoth is a West Coast IPA at 6.2 per cent and, with 60 IBU, the most bitter beer in the core range. Strata, Simcoe, Chinook and Cascade set the tone: floral at first, then resinous pine, grapefruit and a broad citrus note. Pale malt and caramalt form a sturdy base that carries the hops without softening them. The bitterness is pronounced and stays through the finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced floral and herbal notes from the noble hop blend, leading into a resinous pine character that builds in the center. Grapefruit citrus and a broader citrus spectrum follow, layered over a clean, subtle malt foundation. The hop aromatics are forward and clean, with no phenolic or estery distractions.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a balanced malt sweetness from pale and caramalt, immediately met by assertive hop bitterness that dominates the mid-palate. Resinous pine, citrus, and grapefruit flavors develop alongside the bitterness, with the malt backbone providing enough structure to support rather than soften the hops. The bitterness is pronounced and builds steadily through the middle and into the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and bitter-forward, with the hop-driven character lingering well into the aftertaste. Bitterness persists without harshness, leaving a clean, slightly astringent mouthfeel that invites the next sip.

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.
