Imperial IPA 8 º

Cloudwater Brew Co
Other Half Brewing Co.

This Double IPA showcases a vibrant collaboration between Cloudwater and Other Half, emphasizing the intense, oily profiles of Nectaron and Motueka. The use of Cryo hop technology elevates the sensory experience, delivering concentrated layers of ripe stone fruit, zesty lime, and tropical pineapple. A foundation of neutral malts ensures the hops remain the focus, balancing a firm bitterness with a clean, lean finish. Expect an aromatic explosion of resinous pine and citrus, underpinned by a smooth, well-integrated warmth. It captures a modern, hop-forward spirit with exceptional clarity of flavor and a crisp, drinkable character typical of the style.

Appearance. Pours a bright, pale gold with a moderate-sized, persistent white head that leaves tight lacing. While mostly clear, a very faint, modern hop haze is present.

Aroma. Intensity is high and punchy, dominated by New World hop character. Prominent notes of nectarine, passion fruit, and lime zest are layered over resinous pine and subtle floral hints. The malt is neutral and grainy in the background, with a clean fermentation profile and a slight, pleasant alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and citrus hop flavors, specifically peach and lime. Bitterness is moderately high but smooth, lacking any harshness. A low, crackery malt support keeps the balance firmly on the hops. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, almost oily texture from the concentrated hop lupulin. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crispness that cuts through the strength. A light, restrained alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
