Imperial IPA 8 º

Drekker Brewing Company

This vibrant Double IPA, a collaboration with Homes Brewery, showcases an explosive hop profile powered by Michigan-grown Copper hops, Citra, and Galaxy. The sensory experience is led by a complex bouquet of passionfruit, peach, and zesty grapefruit. The inclusion of Copper hops adds a unique candy-like red berry and floral depth that distinguishes the mid-palate. At 8% ABV, the beer maintains a structural spine with a clean, supportive malt presence, ensuring the hops remain the focal point. Expect a firm but integrated bitterness that leads into a crisp, dry finish, exemplifying the assertive yet drinkable nature of a modern high-gravity ale.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM) with a slight, modern haze. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit (passionfruit, mango), citrus (grapefruit, lime), and stone fruit (peach), with subtle red berry and floral notes. Malt is clean, neutral, and grainy in the background. Light fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of mango, passionfruit, and citrus pith. Bitterness is high but smooth, avoiding harshness. Malt flavor is low and neutral, providing a soft platform for the hop oils. The finish is dry with a lingering tropical and resinous aftertaste. A very light, clean alcohol character is present.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate to high. Noticeable but well-restrained alcohol warmth. Low astringency.
