The Perfect Disguise (2020)

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 golden beauty sports a very fruity tropical nose with lots of honey, melon, papaya and pineapple. Nectary sweet malts balance nicely, then fade towards the second half, giving way to aggressive hop dankness. Full creamy body and slick honey.

A nice blend of kolsch and double IPA. Pours dark yellow to light gold with one finger of foam that fades quickly. Lots of juicy hops in the nose with some piney scent. Taste follows the nose. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Would recommend!
