Imperial IPA 8.4 º

FrauGruber Brewing

Dear Tokio presents an intense sensory experience typical of a modern Double IPA. The hop profile is dominated by a potent blend of Citra BBC and Mosaic BBC, delivering vibrant layers of tropical mango, blueberry, and zesty grapefruit. Simcoe provides a grounding piney resin, while Amarillo adds a bright floral and orange zest top note. The palate is supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone that allows the hops to shine without interference. It finishes remarkably dry for its 8.4% strength, balanced by a firm bitterness and a soft, well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the punchy hop character.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange (6-8 SRM). Large, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing. Displays a soft, modern haze with good overall clarity.

Aroma. Intense hop-forward bouquet featuring grapefruit, passion fruit, and mango, complemented by pine needles and orange marmalade. Low, clean, grainy malt sweetness in the background. Neutral fermentation profile with a subtle, clean ethanol note.

Taste. High hop flavor intensity mirroring the aroma—citrus pith, tropical stone fruit, and resinous pine. Bitterness is high and firm but smooth rather than harsh. Low grainy malt sweetness provides support before a very dry, crisp finish. Long, lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. Noticeable but well-restrained alcohol warmth. No hop-derived astringency.
