Banks Brewing CAKE EATER HBC1019 & CITRA
Imperial IPA 8 º
This indulgent Double IPA showcases a luxurious interplay between the classic Citra and the experimental HBC 1019 hop. A heavy addition of oats and lactose creates an opaque, pillowy texture that carries vibrant notes of ripe mango and zesty orange. The inclusion of HBC 1019 introduces a unique sensory dimension, reminiscent of a creamy pineapple and coconut smoothie. While the strength is evident at 8% ABV, the bitterness is balanced by a soft, residual sweetness. This results in a bold, tropical profile with a silky-smooth finish that emphasizes fresh citrus zest and lush stone fruit.
Appearance. Deep gold to light orange color with an opaque, hazy clarity. Supports a dense, creamy, off-white head with excellent retention and prominent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by mango, pineapple, and orange zest. A distinct, sweet coconut and cream character emerges from the HBC 1019 hops and lactose. Malt is low, clean, and grainy with a soft, doughy presence.
Taste. Initial flavors of juicy mango and fresh orange zest transition into a complex mid-palate of pineapple and coconut. Hop bitterness is firm but rounded, lacking any harshness. The malt character is soft and bready, supported by a noticeable lactose sweetness. The finish is lingering and fruity with a clean, silky aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a velvety, creamy, and pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Alcohol provides a well-integrated, gentle warmth without astringency.
