Aeronaut Double Nandu

DOUBLE NANDU, crafted by Massachusetts-based Aeronaut Brewing Company, is a robust New England Double IPA that presents an invigorating experience for hop enthusiasts. With an elevated ABV of 8.4% and an IBU of 75, it boasts an assertive hop profile that distinguishes it from its predecessor, the Nandu IPA. Expect a vivid tapestry of flavors dominated by bright citrus and lush tropical fruits, underscored by a resinous finish that adds depth and complexity to each sip. When considering the best way to enjoy DOUBLE NANDU, serving it at a chilled temperature of around 45-50°F will allow its intricate flavors to shine without muting its vibrant character. Utilizing a tulip glass will further enhance your experience, as its shape is designed to capture and concentrate the rich aromas, allowing the bouquet of citrus and tropical notes to flourish. This double IPA's bold flavor profile pairs exceptionally well with equally assertive dishes. Consider matching it with spicy foods, such as Thai curries or Szechuan stir-fry, where the beer’s bitterness can balance the heat. Alternatively, try it alongside grilled meats or a sharp, tangy cheese like aged cheddar to contrast and complement the beer's fruity overtones. Whether you’re diving into a hearty meal or simply looking to savor a complex brew, DOUBLE NANDU offers a rewarding exploration of hop-forward craftsmanship.
