Imperial IPA 8.8 º

Garage Beer Co

Hærdball presents a formidable sensory experience as a single-hop Double IPA, putting the iconic Citra hop at center stage. The profile is defined by an explosive aromatic intensity of pink grapefruit, juicy mango, and bright lime zest, underpinned by a subtle, clean, grainy malt backbone. At 8.8% ABV, a smooth, integrated alcohol warmth bolsters the palate without detracting from the hop-forward focus. The bitterness is firm and assertive yet avoids harshness, leading into a dry, lingering finish that highlights resinous tropical notes. This Garage Beer Co creation balances the high-strength demands of the style with the vibrant, fruity complexity unique to a pure Citra expression.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (SRM 7-9); moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with good lacing; slight haze is acceptable in this modern version.

Aroma. High to intense hop aroma dominated by Citra, featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and melon; supportive neutral, grainy malt; clean fermentation profile with a soft, well-integrated alcohol note.

Taste. Initial impression is a surge of tropical fruit and citrus flavor; moderately high bitterness that is clean and firm; low, supportive grainy malt character; dry to medium-dry finish with a long, resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture; medium carbonation; noticeable but restrained alcohol warmth; no harsh hop-derived astringency.
