Imperial IPA 7.7 º

Gamborg Bryghus
Baby Steps Brewing Company

This Double IPA presents a vibrant sensory journey driven by an intensive double dry-hop addition of Idaho 7, Simcoe, and Belma. The aroma is a complex tapestry of tropical pineapple and ripe mango from the Idaho 7, layered with the distinct passion fruit and resinous pine of Simcoe. Belma contributes unique notes of sweet strawberry and melon, providing a soft fruity counterpoint to the firm, clean bitterness. A neutral grain malt backbone supports the high-intensity hops without adding weight. It finishes dry and crisp with a lingering resinous warmth, epitomizing the balance between high-strength drinkability and aggressive hop character.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange (6-10 SRM). Pours with a moderate-sized, persistent, creamy off-white head with good lacing. Displays a slight haze consistent with modern dry-hopping techniques.

Aroma. High intensity hop profile featuring prominent tropical fruit (pineapple, mango) and stone fruit, followed by sharp resinous pine and a distinct hint of red berry. Very low, neutral, crackery malt in the background with a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Dominant hop flavors of passion fruit, strawberry, and citrus zest. Initial impression is fruity, quickly followed by a moderately high bitterness that is clean and lacks harshness. Low supportive grainy malt character. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate carbonation. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its 7.7% strength, with no hop-derived astringency.
