Brasserie 28 Maciste
Imperial IPA 8.5 º
Brasserie 28 Maciste is a bold and heroic Double IPA that celebrates the classic American hops character with intense layers of citrus, resinous pine, and tropical fruit notes. Brewed with dextrose to achieve a signature bone-dry body, this ale prioritizes extreme drinkability despite its potent 8.5% ABV. The sensory experience is dominated by a firm, clean bitterness that cuts through the subtle, neutral malt backdrop. It presents a lean, efficient profile where the truckloads of American hops take center stage, finishing crisp and refreshing. This modern interpretation balances high-octane intensity with a smooth, lingering hop presence that avoids cloying sweetness or harshness.
Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (SRM 8-12) with good clarity. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. Intense hop aroma characterized by grapefruit, pine resin, and tropical stone fruit. Background malt is clean, neutral, and grainy with a light, smooth alcohol presence and a clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of citrus zest and pine. High to very high bitterness that is firm but not harsh. Malt flavor is low, soft, and unobtrusive, providing a lean foundation. The finish is bone-dry and crisp with a long-lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture and medium-high carbonation. Displays a restrained and smooth alcohol warmth without any hop-derived astringency.
