Imperial IPA 8.7 º 57 IBU

Fanø Bryghus

Survival Techniques is an assertive Double IPA that highlights the intense aromatic potential of a double dry-hopped profile. It presents a deep gold hue with a resilient off-white head. The nose is saturated with high-intensity notes of mango, passion fruit, and zesty grapefruit, anchored by a neutral, grainy malt character. On the palate, a firm bitterness provides a robust framework for flavors of citrus peel and resinous pine. The 8.7% ABV is expertly integrated, offering a smooth, controlled warmth that complements the medium-bodied texture. It finishes decisively dry with a clean, lingering hop resin aftertaste.

Appearance. Deep gold to light copper (8-10 SRM) with a slight haze consistent with heavy dry-hopping. Features a moderate-sized, creamy, off-white head with excellent persistence and lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop-forward bouquet dominated by tropical fruit (passion fruit, mango), citrus (pink grapefruit), and a resinous pine undertone. Very low, clean, crackery maltiness in the background with a hint of fruity fermentation esters. No solventy alcohol notes.

Taste. Bold hop flavors mirroring the aroma, focusing on citrus zest and stone fruit. Bitterness is high and assertive but lacks harshness or astringency. Malt is supportive and neutral, providing a soft, grainy platform. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering, clean bitterness and resinous hop character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate-to-high. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth that provides a pleasant glow without being hot or fusel.
