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.

Rides the line almost perfectly between tropical hops and overpowering. Nevertheless, juicy IPAs are not my thing anymore. This is one is still good, though.

Pretty fair dipa, drinks like a lower ABV IPA. Interesting concept making a Kölsch into an IPA.

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.
