Imperial IPA 8.5 º

DankHouse Brewing Company

CropShop presents an intense New Zealand-inspired sensory experience, anchored by the pungent, crushed white grape and gooseberry notes of Nelson Sauvin and Maui Nelson Hop Kief. Rakau hops add layers of ripe stone fruit, specifically apricot and lime, which weave through a lean, neutral malt backbone. This Double IPA is remarkably aromatic, showcasing a high-intensity hop profile that remains bright and clean despite its 8.5% strength. The finish is assertive but smooth, balancing firm bitterness with a crisp dryness that invites another sip, emphasizing the tropical and vinous character of its modern southern hemisphere hop additions.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper color with a slight haze. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring prominent notes of white wine, crushed gooseberry, and passion fruit from the Nelson Sauvin and Maui Nelson Hop Kief. Secondary stone fruit notes of apricot and peach arise from the Rakau hops. Malt character is neutral and grainy, with a clean fermentation profile and a hint of smooth alcohol.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of white grape, lime zest, and ripe apricot. Bitterness is moderately high and firm but smooth and not harsh. Malt flavor is low and clean, providing a soft background. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high. Features a restrained and smooth alcohol warmth without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
