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.

Malty and sweet like molasses but a bit lighter. Breakfast worthy. Enjoyably sneaky as the name implies.

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.

Hoppiest "kölsch" I've ever had. Fruity, but definitely bitter, DIPA.

Cool idea for a beer. Tastes pretty good despite being seven months old (won't rate it for that reason). Tropical hops coming through still. Pleasing malt flavor. Finish is nice and a bit more abrupt maybe due to the kolsch yeast? Like it! Will try again.

Love this. Full bodied. Slight bitter bite, tons of orange. Like a double IPA mixed with a kolsch mixed with a wit.
