Naparbier Dead and Gone?

Naparbier Dead and Gone? is a bold expression of the West Coast Double IPA style, characterized by its assertive hop-forward profile and lean malt structure. This 8% powerhouse presents an intense aromatic display of resinous pine and zesty grapefruit, supported by a clean, neutral graininess in the background. On the palate, a firm, bracing bitterness takes center stage, delivering layers of pithy citrus and sticky evergreen that linger into a crisp, remarkably dry finish. Despite its strength, the beer maintains a high level of drinkability with a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth and a medium body that never feels heavy, showcasing the classic aggressive hop balance.
