This is #09 in the DIPA series. We're using a similar malt base and process to #08 which had a nice body & mouthfeel. We're using the new experimental hop HBC 586 which can be described as a proper fruit salad, giving beautiful notes of mango, and pineapple, Amarillo, Idaho 7, and Simcoe were also used to create this bad boy!
That first pour hit different—the hop character from HBC 586 comes through bold and a little dank, but the malt body keeps it balanced. Finished a can before I even thought to check the ABV. Definitely grabbing another four-pack.
The mouthfeel on this one is exactly what I want from a DIPA—full and smooth without being heavy. That HBC 586 hop brings something interesting, almost herbal and dank, that I haven't had in a while. Poured one after dinner and it disappeared fast.
That HBC 586 hop really delivers—I’m getting this wild, almost piney-forward character that I haven’t found in other DIPAs lately. The malt base keeps it smooth enough that the bitterness doesn’t bite, just lingers nicely. Perfect for a slow Saturday pour.
