Imperial IPA 8 º

Cloudwater Brew Co
The Veil Brewing Co.

This Double IPA, a collaborative effort between Cloudwater and The Veil, presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by its dank and juicy character. Inheriting the legacy of the original Chubbles, this expression radiates intense aromas of overripe mango and zesty orange. The hop profile is assertive yet smooth, delivering a complex interplay of tropical fruit sweetness and a resinous, herbal dankness. A clean, neutral malt base allows the massive hop additions to shine, while the 8% ABV provides a well-integrated, gentle warmth. This is a bold, hop-forward experience that balances firm bitterness with a modern, fruit-driven palate, finishing dry and remarkably drinkable.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange (SRM 6-8). Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing. Slight to moderate haze is present, reflecting its modern juicy hop-forward construction.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma dominated by tropical stone fruit, specifically mango, and bright citrus notes of orange. A significant dank, resinous quality provides depth, supported by a very low, clean, grainy malt background and a neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Leading with high hop flavor mirroring the aroma's mango and orange citrus. Bitterness is firm and moderately high but lacks harshness. The malt is soft and unobtrusive, providing a light grainy support that leads into a medium-dry finish with a lingering, resinous, and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high, and the 8% ABV presents a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth that enhances the mouthfeel without being solventy or hot.
