The Perfect Disguise

IPA - Imperial / Double

On the surface, The Perfect Disguise looks like a straightforward Kölsch with a crisp Kölsch yeast and traditional German malts and hops … but things aren’t always what they seem. With a quick sniff and a slight sip, you’re greeted by a creamy mouthfeel and full body thanks to the addition of a unique German chit malt - the first hint that this beer may be somewhat different. Hiding deeper behind that German disguise is the double dry-hopping of an American Double IPA, with nearly 4 lbs. of German and American hops per barrel. It brings tropical flavors of citrus, tangerine, mango, gooseberries and peach.

This one’s interesting. Smells fruity, and starts off tasting like a DIPA with a clean (the Kolsch influence). But then, once you think the flavor has finished, it hits you again with more IPA. I like it

Hoppy bitterness with notes of tropical. While it has the solid body of an imperial it retains a lightness that keeps it from overwhelming. The slight oiliness is pleasant and enhances the hops.

Pretty malty for a DIPA! Brings back memories of when I thought the 90 minute IPA was the quintessential beer!

Kolsch like on the nose with a creamier mouth feel for an IPA. The back end brings on the hops with some citrus, peach and mango..oh, and some gooseberries.
