Dougall’s Dúo: HBC 586 & Cryo Pop

This American IPA showcases a harmonious blend of modern hop technology and traditional craftsmanship. The aromatic profile is dominated by the intense resin, fresh pine, and floral notes characteristic of the HBC 586 and Cryo Pop hops. A refined malt base of Maris Otter and Extra Pale malts offers a clean, bready support, while the addition of oat flakes ensures a smooth, delicate mouthfeel. On the palate, complex layers of stone fruit, cherry, and currants transition into a crisp, piney bitterness. It concludes with a dry, lingering finish that highlights the sophisticated interplay between its fruit-forward character and classic bitter structure.
