Imperial IPA 8.2 º

This collaborative Double IPA delivers an intense sensory impact, showcasing a saturated hop profile driven by Citra, Citra Cryo, Nelson, and Superdelic Cryo. The nose is a vibrant collision of tropical mango, crushed white grape, and bright lime zest, underpinned by a soft, doughy malt presence. On the palate, the hop intensity remains high, offering layers of passion fruit and red berries that transition into a firm, clean bitterness. The finish is remarkably smooth for its strength, leaving a lingering impression of resinous pine and citrus oil while maintaining the high drinkability expected of the style.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange (7-9 SRM). Pours with a dense, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing. Opaque to hazy, consistent with modern hop-saturated interpretations.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant notes of tropical fruit, passion fruit, and lime from Citra and Citra Cryo are joined by the distinctive gooseberry and white grape character of Nelson. Superdelic Cryo contributes layers of red berry and candy-like sweetness. Malt is low and neutral, providing a soft cracker-like backdrop. Fermentation is clean with very subtle peach esters.

Taste. Initial punch of citrus peel and tropical fruit. Strong flavors of mango, grapefruit, and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Bitterness is moderately high and firm but lacks harshness, balancing a subtle, grainy-sweet malt backbone. The finish is medium-dry with a long, resinous, and fruity aftertaste. Alcohol is well-integrated, providing a faint, clean sweetness without being solventy.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate carbonation. A gentle, warming alcohol presence is noticeable but remains smooth and integrated. Low astringency despite the heavy hop load.
