Alpujarra Doble IPA is a bold Double IPA that showcases a sophisticated hop profile. A potent combination of Cascade, Calypso, and El Dorado hops drives the sensory experience, layering classic notes of grapefruit and pine with distinct pear and tropical stone fruit. The generous dry hopping with Summer hops elevates the bouquet with a delicate melon and apricot lift. At 8% ABV, the beer offers a smooth, integrated warmth supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone. It delivers a firm bitterness and a dry, crisp finish, emphasizing high drinkability while maintaining the intense, resinous punch expected of the style.
Appearance.Deep gold to light copper (8–12 SRM). Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing and a slight haze from the intensive dry hopping.
Aroma.Intense hop aroma characterized by grapefruit, tropical pineapple, and ripe pear. Nuances of melon and stone fruit are present, supported by a very low, clean, grainy malt sweetness. Fermentation is clean with a faint, smooth alcohol presence.
Taste.High hop flavor featuring citrus resin, tropical fruit, and spicy floral notes. A moderately high bitterness is well-integrated and lacks harshness. The malt character is unobtrusive, providing a clean, slightly toasted base that allows the hops to dominate. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but never solventy or hot.
