I am from: Burlington, Vermont, USA (Crafted by Zero Gravity Craft Brewery)

The Story: Born on Pine Street in Burlington, Vermont, Zero Gravity has built an incredible reputation for mastering highly drinkable, perfectly balanced beers. Madonna is their tribute to the towering, hop-forward heights a Double IPA can reach when brewed with finesse. To craft this formidable 8.0% brew, the brewing team built a clean, crisp foundation using premium Pilsner malt and a hearty dose of American wheat. This lighter malt body acts as the ultimate blank canvas for an aggressive, carefully calibrated dry-hopping process featuring a brilliant blend of American Citra and New Zealand Motueka hops. The result is a vibrant, incredibly satisfying DIPA that lets the hops completely steal the show without bogging down the palate.

Why You'll Love Me: It is a masterclass in brewing a big, bold Double IPA that remains dangerously refreshing and effortlessly drinkable. It pours a deep, glowing, slightly hazy golden-yellow in the glass beneath a dense, frothy white head. The nose instantly erupts with a massive bouquet of tropical aromatics—bursting with lush ruby red grapefruit, zesty lemon-lime, and sweet nectar fruit. On the palate, the addition of American wheat provides a soft, smooth texture that gracefully carries heavy, juicy waves of vibrant citrus across the tongue. Instead of finishing overly thick or sweet, it boasts a perfectly tuned, snappy bitterness that elegantly dries out the sip, making its 8.0% ABV incredibly well-hidden and leaving you instantly ready for another taste.
