Imperial IPA 8 º

Arkane Aleworks

Fat Clouds is a modern Double IPA that exemplifies the saturated hop character of Citra. It presents a sensory profile defined by an intense burst of grapefruit, lychee, and zesty lime. Despite its 8% ABV, the beer maintains high drinkability with a clean, dry finish that balances its firm bitterness. The double dry-hopping process amplifies the tropical fruit esters, while a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel provides a soft canvas for the pungent hop oils. This expression focuses on the expressive qualities of Citra hops, delivering a lingering, resinous citrus aftertaste without the heavy maltiness of traditional strong ales.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper; hazy to opaque with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent Citra characteristics of grapefruit, lime, and tropical fruit. Supportive, neutral, grainy malt in the background with a clean fermentation profile and light, smooth alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression is a wave of citrus and tropical fruit. Malt flavor is low, clean, and soft. High hop bitterness that remains smooth rather than harsh. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering hoppy aftertaste and a clean, light alcohol presence.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate carbonation. Restrained, smooth alcohol warmth and no harsh hop-derived astringency.
