Floc. Easy Way Out
Imperial IPA 8 º
This Double IPA showcases a vibrant hop-forward profile where Amarillo, Galaxy, and Simcoe take center stage. The aroma is dominated by layers of ripe peach, passion fruit, and bright citrus zest, underpinned by a distinct resinous pine note from the Simcoe. A soft, light malt base provides a delicate, grainy foundation that supports rather than competes with the intense hop character. On the palate, a firm but smooth bitterness balances subtle fruity esters, leading to a crisp, dry finish. The 8% ABV adds a gentle, well-integrated warmth that enhances the beer’s overall presence while maintaining remarkable drinkability.
Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (7-9 SRM). Generally clear, though a slight hop haze is acceptable. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with good lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit, passion fruit, and peach notes from Galaxy, combined with citrusy orange from Amarillo and a resinous, piney dankness from Simcoe. Malt is low and neutral, providing a clean, grainy-sweet background. Fermentation profile is clean and neutral.
Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of grapefruit, tropical fruit, and pine. Bitterness is high but well-sculpted, lacking harshness. The malt character is low, providing a soft, unobtrusive crackery support. Finishes dry to medium-dry with a lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste. Very low fruitiness from yeast is optional, as the hops drive the fruit profile.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present, consistent with the 8% ABV, without any harsh or astringent qualities.
