Imperial IPA 9.8 º

FrauGruber Brewing

This Double IPA delivers a saturated sensory experience through double dry-hopping with Select, Galaxy, Citra BBC, and BRU-1. It presents a dense, hazy aesthetic typical of contemporary high-gravity ales. The aroma is high-intensity, bursting with tropical passionfruit, ripe pineapple, and sharp citrus zest. On the palate, the significant strength provides a smooth, structured warmth that carries concentrated flavors of melon and resin. Despite the nearly double-digit ABV, the finish stays balanced with a firm bitterness that avoids harshness, supported by a soft, grainy malt backbone that ensures the diverse hop varieties remain the focus.

Appearance. Deep gold with an orange-copper hue (SRM 8-10). Opaque and hazy. Thick, persistent off-white foam with significant glass lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring explosive tropical notes of pineapple and passionfruit from BRU-1 and Galaxy, alongside bright citrus and lime from Citra BBC. Subtle floral and herbal spice from Select hops. Very low, neutral malt and a hint of clean, warming alcohol.

Taste. Initial impact of ripe tropical fruit and grapefruit zest. Malt character is low and soft, providing a neutral, bready base for the hops. High bitterness that is firm but remarkably smooth and well-integrated. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, resinous hop oil character and soft fruit esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full, creamy body with a plush texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable, smooth alcohol warmth that enhances the weight without being solventy or hot. Very low astringency.
