Imperial IPA 8 º 21 IBU

Bakunin Brewing Co.

Bakunin Brewing Co. HEADLINE reimagines the Double IPA through a hazy, wheat-forward lens, delivering a vibrant fusion of summery yeast esters and American hop intensity. Pouring a heavily hazy, pale gold under a fluffy white head, this hybrid creation bursts with prominent notes of ripe banana and spicy clove, courtesy of its traditional wheat fermentation. Beneath these classic yeast aromas lies a saturated charge of tropical and citrusy American hops. A soft, creamy, medium-full body derived from a heavy wheat grist coats the palate, balancing the robust hop bitterness and smooth 8% ABV warmth before a lush, fruity finish.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper, with a prominent, dense, and persistent white head leaving heavy lacing. Displays a strong, opaque haze due to the high portion of wheat in the grist.

Aroma. High intensity. A powerful blend of tropical fruit, citrus, and resinous American hops seamlessly integrates with pronounced traditional wheat yeast esters of banana and spicy clove phenols. A clean, bready, doughy wheat malt character supports the background, accompanied by a clean, light alcohol sweetness.

Taste. An initial rush of sweet tropical fruit, citrus, and banana yeast esters, followed quickly by spicy clove and bready wheat malt flavors. Hop bitterness is moderate to high but soft and well-integrated, lacking any harshness. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering, juicy hop and spicy yeast aftertaste alongside a smooth alcohol presence.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a creamy, pillowy, and soft texture derived from the heavy wheat base. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. Shows a smooth, pleasant alcohol warmth without any hot or solventy character.
