Imperial IPA 8.4 º

Crooked Moon Brewing

TRINITY by Crooked Moon Brewing presents a contemporary evolution of the West Coast Double IPA, prioritizing approachable drinkability over aggressive resins. Despite its 8.4% ABV, the profile is surprisingly smooth, characterized by a vibrant bouquet of citrus and tropical fruit. It eschews the punishing bitterness typical of the style for a softer, more modern palate. A lean, neutral malt base allows the expressive American hops to lead with notes of grapefruit and mango, finishing remarkably clean and dry. This introduction-DIPA balances strength with a refined bitterness, offering a sensory experience that is both potent and elegantly refreshed, bridging the gap between classic strength and modern softness.

Appearance. Pale gold to light copper with excellent clarity and a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and a subtle piney resin. Background malt is clean and neutral with a faint cracker-like quality. Fermentation is clean with a very light, smooth alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-centric with flavors of tangerine and melon. Bitterness is notably restrained for the style, leaning toward the lower end of the spectrum to enhance drinkability. A supportive, soft malt character provides balance without sweetness. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering citrus zest aftertaste and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a refreshing prickle. Restrained, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but lacks any solventy heat.
