Imperial IPA 8 º

Deciduous Brewing Company

This Double IPA presents a lush, tropical-forward sensory experience driven by a heavy-handed addition of Galaxy, Citra, and Motueka hops. An intense bouquet of passion fruit, freshly squeezed lime, and ripe stone fruit leads the charge, supported by a subtle, bready malt backbone. On the palate, the vibrant citrus character of Citra and Motueka merges with the dank, tropical complexity of Galaxy, resulting in a firm but well-integrated bitterness. Despite its strength, the finish remains remarkably clean and dry, showcasing the assertive hop profile without unnecessary sweetness, making for a dangerously drinkable and aromatic modern ale.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM). Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent, white head that leaves tight lacing. Good clarity, though a very light haze is acceptable given the heavy dry-hopping.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring heavy tropical fruit (passion fruit), citrus (grapefruit and lime zest), and stone fruit notes. A clean, neutral, and slightly grainy malt character provides a low-intensity support in the background. Fermentation is clean with a very light fruity ester profile. A soft, well-integrated alcohol presence is detectable.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of citrus and tropical fruit flavors. High bitterness that is firm but smooth, lacking any harshness. The malt character is low, clean, and soft, serving only to frame the hop intensity. Flavors of lime, peach, and melon lead into a dry to medium-dry finish. The aftertaste is long and hoppy, characterized by lingering grapefruit and resinous notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively mouthfeel. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but not solventy. No hop-derived astringency.
