La Pirata Shock Doctrine

This assertive Double IPA delivers a sensory shock driven by a heavy-handed dry hopping of Azacca and HBC472. The Azacca hops lead with intense notes of ripe mango and papaya, while the experimental HBC472 provides a unique, sophisticated layer of wood-like spice, coconut, and bourbon-tinged vanilla. Underneath the hop-forward profile, a lean, neutral malt base keeps the focus on the vibrant oils. It finishes remarkably dry for its 9% strength, balancing a high yet clean bitterness with a subtle alcohol warmth that complements its complex stone fruit and cedar-like aromatics. It is a powerful, modern interpretation of the style.
