NEIPA - New England IPA 9.6 º

FrauGruber Brewing

Talking Bombs is a formidable Double IPA that exemplifies modern hop saturation, utilizing Citra BBC and Amarillo BBC to create an explosive sensory experience. The aroma is led by high-intensity notes of overripe mango, tangerine zest, and floral blossoms. On the palate, a clean, neutral malt foundation supports a wave of grapefruit pith and stone fruit flavors. Despite its 9.6% ABV, the beer remains remarkably drinkable with a dry finish and a firm, resinous bitterness that lingers. The smooth, warming glow from the alcohol is well-integrated, complementing the lush tropical profiles of the specific hop varieties without overshadowing the crisp, hoppy balance.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (SRM 7-9) with a moderate-sized, creamy, off-white head that demonstrates excellent persistence and lacing. Clarity is good, though a very slight haze from heavy dry-hopping is acceptable.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit, citrus, and floral notes. Citra BBC provides distinct mango and passion fruit, while Amarillo BBC adds orange and grapefruit peel. Background malt is clean and neutral-grainy. Fermentation is clean with a hint of smooth alcohol.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of citrus rind, melon, and peach. Bitterness is moderately high and firm but lacks harshness. Malt character is low and unobtrusive, providing a soft, bready support. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, hoppy, and clean bitter aftertaste. Low alcohol flavor is smooth and pleasant.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. No harsh hop-derived astringency is present, though a restrained and smooth alcohol warmth is noticeable given the strength.
