Imperial IPA 7.8 º

This Double IPA showcases a modern, vibrant hop profile driven by an expressive blend of Citra, Nelson, Amarillo, and Riwaka. The aroma is dominated by bright notes of passion fruit, crushed gooseberry, and zesty lime, supported by a clean, neutral malt base that keeps the focus entirely on the hops. On the palate, Citra provides a punchy grapefruit backbone, while Nelson and Riwaka contribute layers of white wine grape and tropical stone fruit. A firm but smooth bitterness balances the subtle, doughy malt sweetness, leading to a crisp, dry finish. Expect a medium body with a soft, pillowy texture and a well-integrated alcohol warmth.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper with a slight haze. Topped with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of passion fruit, white grape, and pink grapefruit. Secondary layers of orange peel, floral blossoms, and a hint of resin. Malt is very low and neutral, presenting as a light crackers-like scent.

Taste. Strong, complex hop flavors of tangerine, gooseberry, and tropical stone fruit. The bitterness is high but smooth, lacking any harsh or vegetal astringency. A very low, soft, neutral malt character provides support without adding significant sweetness. The finish is notably dry with a lingering, clean citrus and resinous hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, providing no solvent-like heat.
