Imperial IPA 8.8 º

Autodidact Beer

This Double IPA presents a bold sensory experience centered on the unique profile of Egger's Special Hops. At 8.8% ABV, the beer strikes a masterful balance between intense hop expression and high drinkability. Expect an aromatic burst of resinous pine and bright citrus, layered over a lean, neutral malt foundation that provides a clean, grainy base. The palate follows suit, delivering a firm, clean bitterness that leads into a crisp, dry finish. The smooth alcohol integration ensures the strength is felt as a gentle warmth rather than a sharp burn, showcasing the brewer’s intent to highlight pure hop character without the weight of a barleywine.

Appearance. Presents as a pale gold to light orange-copper (7–9 SRM) with good clarity and a moderate, persistent off-white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma dominated by citrus zest, resinous pine, and hints of tropical fruit derived from Egger's Special Hops. Background notes of clean, grainy malt and a neutral fermentation profile with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a wash of hop flavors, specifically grapefruit and floral notes, supported by a low, soft malt character featuring light toasted bread. Bitterness is high but clean, lacking any harshness. Finishes dry with a long, lingering resinous hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, without any hop-derived astringency.
