Imperial IPA 8 º 81.7 IBU

Beavertown Brewery

Humuloid is a powerhouse Double IPA that presents with the dense, hazy opacity of unfiltered apple juice. The aromatic profile is dominated by intense slugs of ripe mango and pineapple driven by massive dry-hop additions of Citra and Azacca, supported by a subtle, buttery shortcrust malt character from the Golden Promise base. On the palate, a heavy addition of wheat and oats creates a velvety, rich body that carries layers of sticky tropical fruit and crisp orchard notes like pear and apple. Fermented with Vermont yeast for enhanced fruitiness, it concludes with a firm, tea-like bitterness that cuts through the residual sweetness for a balanced finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange; opaque and hazy, resembling cloudy apple juice. Features a moderate-sized, persistent white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of ripe mango, pineapple, and tropical fruit from Citra and Azacca hops. A supportive, grainy malt background suggests shortcrust pastry, while the Vermont yeast adds light stone fruit esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of sticky mango and pineapple, followed by orchard fruit flavors of crisp apple and pear. A soft, bread-like malt support from Golden Promise and oats leads into a firm, lingering bitterness reminiscent of strong black tea. Despite the 8% ABV, the finish is balanced between hop resin and a slight residual sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a rich, creamy texture derived from flaked oats and wheat. Carbonation is moderate. Smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, lacking any harsh astringency.
