Imperial IPA 8 º

Fox Farm Brewery

Bluster is a vibrant Double IPA that showcases an intricate hop blend of Sabro, Strata, Motueka, and Azacca. The sensory experience is led by a sophisticated wave of tropical fruit, specifically highlighting creamy coconut from the Sabro and over-ripe mango and pineapple from the Azacca. Motueka provides a bright, pithy tangerine lift that prevents the saturated stone fruit notes from becoming heavy, while Strata adds a subtle layer of complex berry. The malt remains a clean, supportive backdrop, allowing these complex hop layers to shine. It achieves a remarkable balance between lush, tropical depth and a crisp, resinous finish, characteristic of a focused Double IPA.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a slight, modern sheen. Moderate-sized, persistent, white head with tight lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit (mango, pineapple), distinct creamy coconut, and bright tangerine. Very low, neutral, grainy-sweet malt in the background. Clean fermentation profile with a subtle hint of smooth alcohol.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of mango, pineapple, and tangerine zest. High bitterness that is firm but smooth and lacks harshness. Low, supportive, neutral malt character. Very dry finish with a lingering hoppy and resinous aftertaste. Minimal fermentation esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Medium-high carbonation. Restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
