Imperial IPA 8 º

Elder Pine Brewing & Blending

This Double IPA radiates a vibrant hop profile, where El Dorado and Mosaic hops lead the charge with intense aromas of ripe mango, succulent tropical fruit, and a medley of mixed berries. The inclusion of spelt malt and flaked wheat crafts a signature creamy body that softens the punch of its 8% ABV. A clean, neutral malt backbone allows the complex hop oils to remain the focus, delivering a firm bitterness that transitions into a crisp, dry finish. It is a modern expression of the style, balancing high-intensity fruit notes with a smooth, lingering hop presence.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper with a slight haze from the wheat and spelt. Topped by a dense, persistent, off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet dominated by El Dorado and Mosaic, showcasing vivid mango, pineapple, and crushed berries. Background notes of grainy malt and soft wheat are barely perceptible beneath a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Explodes with tropical fruit flavors including mango and berry-like notes. Initial hop intensity is met by a moderate-high bitterness that remains smooth rather than harsh. Low, clean malt presence with a touch of grainy sweetness from the spelt. Finishes dry with a lingering fruity hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable creaminess and soft texture attributed to flaked wheat and spelt. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle, accompanied by a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
