Derelict Brewing Black Lambo
Black IPA 7.2 º
Black Lambo is a striking Specialty IPA that showcases the unique synergy between dark grains and the 2023 harvest of Nelson Sauvin fresh hops. The beer presents a complex aromatic bouquet where the signature Nelson Sauvin notes of crushed white grapes and gooseberry collide with a resinous, piney fresh-hop pungency. A subtle roasty backbone provides structure without overwhelming the palate, offering hints of light chocolate and toasted bread. The bitterness is firm yet smooth, leading into a dry, resin-coated finish. This expression balances the vibrant, tropical fruitiness of the New Zealand hops against a clean, dark malt canvas for a highly drinkable, modern profile.
Appearance. Deep black and opaque (SRM 38) with clear mahogany highlights at the edges. It supports a persistent, creamy, light tan head that leaves dense, intricate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring distinct Nelson Sauvin characteristics of white wine, gooseberry, and passion fruit, coupled with a resinous, grassy 'fresh hop' quality. A low malt presence provides background notes of toasted bread and a hint of debittered chocolate.
Taste. The initial impression is hop-forward, dominated by tropical fruit and resinous pine. A light malt flavor follows with restrained notes of coffee and chocolate, avoiding any burnt or ashy harshness. Bitterness is medium-high and firm, supporting a dry finish where a lingering Nelson Sauvin grape-like fruitiness mingles with a clean, toasted malt aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, and at 7.2% ABV, there is a pleasant, light alcohol warmth that is well-integrated and never sharp. Astringency is very low despite the darker malts.
