Cloudwater Double IPA V3 is a bold Double IPA with 9% ABV, one of the most ambitious releases from this Manchester-based brewery, which at the time of production occupied a third of their total capacity. The beer pours a golden color with a thick, juicy texture and an almost non-existent head.
Its aroma is dominated by intense fruity notes - peach, orange, mango, and pineapple - with an intriguing hint of carrot. The flavor is rich and well-rounded, offering a creamy tropical juice impression supported by the gentle sweetness of Golden Promise malt and a subtle bitterness.
Beyond the fruit-forward profile, layers of biscuit, vanilla, dark fruit, and soft coffee notes emerge. With the use of Citra hops and Vermont yeast, the beer delivers a distinct character full of aromatic depth.
Although no longer in regular production, Double IPA V3 remains one of Cloudwater’s most highly regarded releases and is considered a true classic among fans of the hazy IPA style.
