Imperial IPA 11.5 º 85 IBU

Flying Dog Brewery

This formidable Double IPA presents an assertive sensory profile defined by a robust interplay between citrus-forward hops and a rich, sweet malt foundation. Its imposing 11.5% ABV manifests as a welcoming alcohol warmth that complements the intense hop bitterness. The aroma is dominated by bright orange and grapefruit citrus notes, underscored by a sturdy, bready malt sweetness that reflects its significant gravity. On the palate, the hop character remains prominent, delivering a sharp, resinous punch that is balanced by a smooth, full-bodied texture. This big beer finishes with a clean, lingering bitterness and a soft, warming glow that stays true to its bold character.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (SRM 10-14) with very good clarity. It supports a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent citrus notes of grapefruit zest and orange peel. A supportive, moderately sweet malt presence offers hints of toasted grain and honey, accompanied by a clean, smooth alcohol note.

Taste. Initial impression is a blast of resinous citrus hops followed by a medium-high malt sweetness. The hop flavor is complex, focusing on pithy citrus and light pine. Bitterness is firm and assertive but not harsh. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering hoppy aftertaste and a clean, warming alcohol presence.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, providing a substantial feel without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
