Bereta Brewing Co. Close Encounters

Imperial IPA 7.8 º
Close Encounters is an intense Double IPA that captures the essence of modern hopping through the synergy of Citra and Phantasm. The aroma is dominated by a saturated tropical profile, bursting with notes of passion fruit, sauvignon blanc grapes, and zesty grapefruit. On the palate, a clean, lean malt backbone allows the hops to shine, delivering a punchy wave of citrus and thiol-driven exotic fruit. Despite its strength, the beer maintains high drinkability with a firm but smooth bitterness and a dry, lingering finish. It offers a sophisticated, bright, and deeply aromatic experience characteristic of this potent style.
Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper in color (SRM 6-9). Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with good lacing. Displays a slight, modern haze typical of heavy dry-hopping.
Aroma. Intense and punchy hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, lime, and tropical passion fruit from the Citra hops. The addition of Phantasm contributes distinctive thiols, adding layers of crushed white grapes and gooseberry. A neutral, grainy malt sweetness sits quietly in the background, complemented by a clean fermentation profile and a very subtle hint of warming alcohol.
Taste. Dominant hop flavors of citrus zest and exotic tropical fruit mirror the aroma, with added notes of melon and white peach. Bitterness is firm and assertive but lacks harshness, balanced by a soft, unobtrusive malt presence. The finish is notably dry and clean, leaving a lingering, resinous, and fruity hop aftertaste. High complexity with no cloying sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-to-high, providing a crisp bite that enhances drinkability. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no hop-derived astringency.
