Imperial IPA 6.8 º 65 IBU

Birrificio 26 Nero

26 Nero Ipnotica is an alluring Double IPA that commands attention with an intense, perfume-like bouquet. The primary sensory experience is defined by a cold-hopping technique that unleashes vibrant waves of mango and passion fruit, characteristic of modern New World hops. Beneath this tropical saturation lies a clean, supportive malt profile that allows the hops to remain the focal point. The palate transitions from lush exotic fruits to a firm, decisive bitterness that stays smooth rather than harsh. A crisp finish reveals lingering citrus zest and subtle spice, making for a dangerously drinkable and highly aromatic strong ale.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper color (SRM 7–12) with good clarity. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit notes of mango and passion fruit. A clean, neutral, and slightly grainy malt character provides a subtle background, with a very low, clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression of rich tropical fruit followed by a moderately high bitterness that is firm yet smooth and never invasive. The malt flavor is unobtrusive, offering a soft, clean foundation. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering hop presence showcasing citrus zest and a touch of peppery spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture and moderate-high carbonation. Displays a restrained, light alcohol warmth that is well-integrated without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
