Adroit Theory Brewing Co - VOIID-01

Welcome to the VOIID! VOIID-01 is an extraordinary 8.9% Hazy Double IPA from Virginia's boundary-pushing Adroit Theory Brewing Company, marking the beginning of an ambitious experimental series designed to take modern New England IPAs to entirely new heights. Created by the brewery's head brewer, Russ, the VOIID series provides a playground for bold ideas, unconventional brewing techniques and innovative approaches to hop expression. Rather than simply tweaking existing recipes, Adroit Theory has embraced the opportunity to experiment with entirely new combinations of flavour, texture and aroma. The result is a gloriously hazy, intensely aromatic Double IPA that showcases the brewery's adventurous spirit and relentless pursuit of hop perfection.

Pouring a magnificent opaque golden colour, VOIID-01 unleashes an enticing aromatic explosion of ripe peaches, juicy tangerines, vibrant grapefruit and luscious tropical papaya. Its wonderfully expressive hop character delivers layer upon layer of succulent fruit, creating an inviting combination of citrus freshness and tropical sweetness. On the palate, expect generous flavours of ripe stone fruit, freshly squeezed orange and tangy grapefruit, accompanied by delicate tropical undertones. A substantial, beautifully rounded malt body provides a luxurious, chewy texture, while the beer's remarkably well-integrated alcohol ensures that its formidable 8.9% strength remains surprisingly discreet. As the fruit flavours develop, subtle resinous pine notes begin to emerge, adding complexity and balance.

Rich, juicy and wonderfully indulgent, VOIID-01 delivers everything that makes modern American Double IPAs so irresistible. Its substantial body provides an exceptionally soft drinking experience, while a satisfying 45 IBU brings welcome structure to the beer's vibrant fruit character. The finish is pleasantly dry, with lingering impressions of ripe peach, tangy grapefruit and gently resinous pine bitterness. Despite its generous strength and intensely aromatic personality, VOIID-01 remains remarkably approachable, offering a fascinating glimpse into Adroit Theory's experimental brewing philosophy. A magnificent introduction to the VOIID series and an essential discovery for lovers of adventurous, heavyweight hazy IPAs!
