Imperial IPA 8.2 º 23 IBU

Carbon Brews

Carbon Brews Crazy Rich Lupulins presents as a modern, fruit-forward Double IPA that leans heavily into contemporary tropical profiles. The aroma is dominated by super ripe tropical notes, specifically luscious mango and succulent papaya, which translate seamlessly to a dense, fruit-saturated palate. At 8.2% ABV, it carries a noticeable but well-integrated strength. While maintaining the core identity of the style, it prioritizes a smooth, rounded delivery over aggressive bitterness. The resulting experience is one of intense hop saturation, where the lupulin oils provide a velvet-like texture and a persistent, fruity finish that masks its formidable punch with a soft, supportive malt backbone.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM). The beer displays a slight haze indicative of heavy dry-hopping, crowned by a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with good lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring prominent ripe mango, papaya, and mixed tropical fruit. A clean, neutral grainy malt presence sits in the background, supporting a lightly fruity fermentation profile with a soft hint of well-integrated alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical sweetness, following the mango and papaya notes of the aroma. Hop flavor is intense and complex. Bitterness is moderate to moderately high but notably smooth and lacking harshness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering fruity aftertaste and a supportive, soft malt character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notably smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 8.2% ABV strength, but without any hop-derived astringency or heat.
