Imperial IPA 7 º 45 IBU

Brewlok Brewery

Illusion captures the essence of a modern New England Double IPA, presenting a lush sensory experience dominated by a vibrant mango profile. The aroma explodes with tropical intensity, where aromatic American hops meet the succulent, juicy character of real fruit. A unique undercurrent of white chocolate provides a silky, sweet-creamy counterpoint to the hop-forward profile, adding layers of vanilla and cocoa. Despite its 7% strength, the beer remains exceptionally smooth. The palate balances firm hop bitterness with a velvety, opaque texture, finishing with a lingering harmony of stone fruit and a soft, confectionary sweetness that reinforces the brewer's indulgent intent.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (8–12 SRM); hazy and opaque; thick, creamy white head with excellent persistence and dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant fresh mango and tropical fruit esters; citrusy and resinous hop notes; subtle creamy vanilla and sweet cocoa from white chocolate; neutral, slightly grainy malt in the background.

Taste. Bold mango juice and tropical hop flavors take center stage; moderate hop bitterness is present but softened by a creamy white chocolate sweetness; low bready malt character; fruit-forward with a smooth, lingering finish of tropical fruit and a hint of sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture; moderate carbonation; light alcohol warmth; notable creaminess without any harsh hop astringency.
