Brouwerij EemBier Everything Zen
Imperial IPA 9 º
Everything Zen presents as a formidable Double IPA, blending the aggressive hop forwardness of the style with the sophisticated, spirituous depth of bourbon influence. An intense aroma of resinous pine and tropical fruit is enriched by warm notes of vanilla and toasted oak. The palate is a complex interplay between high bitterness and a smooth, supportive malt backbone that carries nuances of coconut and stone fruit. Despite its 9% ABV, it maintains the characteristic dry finish of a Double IPA, enhanced by a lingering warmth and a subtle spirituous edge that rounds out the bold, modern hop profile.
Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (roughly 8-12 SRM) with good clarity and a slight, hazy shimmer. It is topped by a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hops featuring notes of citrus zest, resinous pine, and ripe tropical fruit. This is layered with distinct secondary aromas of vanilla, light caramel, and a hint of charred oak from the bourbon character. The fermentation profile is clean with a smooth, well-integrated alcohol presence.
Taste. Initial impression is a powerful wave of hop flavor—specifically grapefruit and pine—followed by a moderately high, firm bitterness. A clean, grainy malt backbone offers support without becoming heavy, allowing subtle notes of vanilla and oak to emerge. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering hoppy and slightly spirituous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high, providing a lively scrub on the tongue. A noticeable but pleasant alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its 9% strength, without any harsh astringency.
