CYCT Coupling

Double IPA 8.5%

440ml 7 00

Could You Calculate the Coupling
Moersleutel CYCT Coupling is a double IPA with some unique ingredients. In physics, “coupling” means bringing different elements together to create something new and powerful. For this DIPA, we used the special Waimea hops from New Zealand, which give off a fresh pine forest vibe and a zesty citrus kick. Nelson Sauvin hops add notes of white wine and passion fruit, and a good dose of Citra Cryo brings an extra refreshing touch. This DIPA is fermented with the new Pomona yeast, which ties everything together with a nice tropical balance. We’ve also tweaked our malt recipe to make this hazy IPA taste even better. What do you think? Cheers!

Moersleutel CYCT Coupling – Double IPA 8.5%

Could You Calculate the Coupling? Fresh Pine, Bright Citrus, Tropical Balance.

Meet Moersleutel CYCT Coupling, an 8.5% Double IPA built on the idea of coupling — bringing powerful elements together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. In physics, coupling is all about connection and interaction. In this hazy DIPA, it’s the marriage of New Zealand hop character, modern yeast innovation, and a refined malt build engineered for peak drinkability.

The result: a hazy, hop-saturated Double IPA with a fresh pine forest vibe, zesty citrus energy, and a smooth tropical finish.

The Craft Behind CYCT Coupling

New Zealand Hops + Pomona Yeast + A Tuned Malt Base

CYCT Coupling is designed to feel bold and complex, yet clean and balanced — a DIPA that hits hard but stays dangerously drinkable.

Hop Blend: Forest Freshness Meets Tropical Brightness

  • Waimea (New Zealand) – fresh pine forest aromatics, resinous edges, and a sharp citrus kick

  • Nelson Sauvin – white wine grape notes, passion fruit, and elegant fruity lift

  • Citra Cryo – concentrated citrus brightness and extra refreshing punch

Together, these hops create a layered profile: green and zesty up front, tropical and juicy in the middle, and bright on the finish.

Pomona Yeast: The Tropical Link

Fermented with Pomona yeast, CYCT Coupling gains a modern, fruit-forward fermentation character that helps tie the hop blend together. It smooths the edges, boosts perceived juiciness, and keeps everything in a balanced tropical zone — without turning the beer overly sweet.

Malt Recipe Tweaks for Better Haze & Smoothness

We also refined our malt bill to improve:

  • Soft, hazy body

  • Creamy texture

  • Better hop support and saturation

  • A smoother finish despite the 8.5% strength

This is Moersleutel haze engineering — dialed in and fully connected.

Tasting Experience

Aroma: Pine, Citrus & White Grape

Aromatics burst from the glass with:

  • Fresh pine needles and forest resin

  • Lemon-lime zest

  • White grape / gooseberry

  • A touch of passion fruit

Bright, crisp, and unmistakably NZ-driven.

Flavor Profile: Juicy DIPA with a Fresh Edge

On the palate, CYCT Coupling delivers:

  • Piney freshness and citrus pop upfront

  • Layers of passion fruit and grape-like Nelson character

  • Smooth tropical tones from Pomona fermentation

  • A refreshing, clean finish supported by Citra Cryo

Expect bold flavor without harshness — saturated, balanced, and modern.

Mouthfeel & Finish: Hazy, Smooth, Refreshing

The body is:

  • Soft and creamy

  • Medium-full without feeling heavy

  • Smoothly carbonated
    With a finish that stays bright and inviting, making the next sip feel inevitable.

What Makes CYCT Coupling Unique?

Waimea: The Pine Forest Twist

While many hazy DIPAs lean purely tropical, Waimea brings a distinctive evergreen freshness — piney, bright, and crisp — adding contrast and complexity to the haze.

Modern Yeast + Cryo Hop Precision

Pomona yeast and Citra Cryo elevate drinkability and aroma intensity, giving you:

  • Juicy saturation

  • Clean structure

  • Extra brightness without extra harsh bitterness

This is coupling in action: hops + yeast + malt working in sync.

Perfect Pairings

CYCT Coupling pairs beautifully with:

  • Spicy tacos or hot wings

  • Grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon

  • Citrus-forward salads

  • Aged cheeses (especially sharp cheddar or gouda)

The pine and citrus cut through richness, while the tropical notes play beautifully with spice.

Serving Tips

  • Serve at: 6–8°C for maximum freshness

  • Glassware: IPA glass or tulip for aroma focus

  • Enjoy fresh: this DIPA is built for peak hop expression

Conclusion: Coupled for Maximum Flavor

Moersleutel CYCT Coupling is a hazy Double IPA that connects piney New Zealand freshness with tropical modern IPA smoothness. Waimea delivers that forest-citrus edge, Nelson adds wine-like fruit elegance, and Citra Cryo locks in brightness — all tied together by Pomona yeast and a tuned malt backbone.

Fresh pine. Bright citrus. Tropical balance.
