Beer Experience Lab Gran Imperial
This Double IPA showcases a bold sensory profile defined by intense dry-hopping. A striking copper hue sets the stage for a prominent aromatic display of bright citrus notes and a sophisticated, soft alcohol warmth. On the palate, a high, lingering hop bitterness dominates, layered over a supportive malt backbone featuring subtle hints of caramel for balance. The citrus character remains focused and vibrant throughout, leading into a medium-dry finish that emphasizes its clean, hop-forward nature. It is an assertive yet well-integrated example of the style, balancing strength with refined drinkability and a long-lasting, bitter aftertaste that persists on the tongue.
Appearance. Copper (12-14 SRM) with good clarity. Features a persistent, white, moderate-sized head with good lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus zest and grapefruit from heavy dry-hopping. A supportive, low, bready malt character is present with a hint of caramel. Low, clean alcohol warmth is noticeable. Clean fermentation profile with no esters.
Taste. High hop bitterness is immediate and assertive. Intense hop flavors mirror the aroma with strong citrus components. Low to medium malt presence provides a clean, soft background with light caramel notes. Finish is medium-dry and crisp with a long, lingering, non-harsh hop bitterness in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated, smooth alcohol warmth without any harshness or solvent notes.
