This exceptionally enchanting liquid spell is a brand new double dry hopped double IPA. Brewed with fluffy oats and wheat and then properly hopped in the cauldron with an abundance of Mosaic hops. The Death Hex DIPA was then enhanced with extreme quantities of Nelson Sauvin, Vic Secret and Motueka. Their powers combined yield an intensely tropical aroma and flavor with concentrated impressions of peach, sweet honeydew and enough juicy pineapple to leave you all hopnotized (see what we did there?).
Malts: Maris Otter Extra Pale, Torrefied Oats, Flaked Wheat & Chit Malt.
Hops: Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, Vic Secret & Motueka.
Yeast: WLP066 London Fog

Copenhagen 24/2 2021. 44 cl can from Best of Beers web-shop. Apex' usual design with a light beige and an Owl as poster animal.
Pours opaque, murky yellow with a small white head. Settles as lonely patches of foam drifting along in a Yellow Sea. No lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, fruity, exotic odor mingling with sharp citric scents. Mango, papaya and peach. Fermentation and alcohol. Grapefruit and citrus.
Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is intensive with a strong sweetness followed by a medium strong, citric bitterness, Aftertaste is bitter and lingers for a while. Finish is dry.
Sharp and bitter - But to call it a Death Hex is not very polite.

Pours a hazy, bright orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of sweet biscuity malt and citrus/berry/tropical hops, with notes of lime peel, white grape and pineapple, as well as a light, grassy dankness also coming through. Taste is a good balance of light, sweet biscuity malt and juicy, fruity, slightly grassy, dank hops, with citrus, berry and lighter tropical notes of lime peel, white grape, pineapple and lemongrass, with just a hint of grassy weed also coming through. Finishes rather sweet, with very little discernible bitterness coming through, and some white grape and lime peel lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
I wasn't very impressed by this initially and while it grew on me a little as I drank it, the hops still don't seem all that vibrant and well-defined here, despite some nice, juicy and dank citrus, berry and tropical notes that just seem a tad muddled and overripe though, while this is also way too sweet and a little too boozy for my taste, which it really shouldn't be at 8%. I know that some people like this kind of flavor profile in a NEIPA, but it's really not for me, to be honest, while I really would have wished for those New Zealand hops that I love to stand out a bit brighter here. Overall, this makes for a nice and juicy, kinda dank NEIPA with a good mouthfeel but slightly disappointing hop aromatics in my personal opinion.
