Imperial IPA 8.8 º 65 IBU

Garage Beer Co

Tango Down is a powerful Double IPA that showcases a sophisticated hop profile driven by Citra, Centennial, and Falconer's Flight. The sensory experience begins with an intense aromatic burst of tropical mango and pineapple, underpinned by Centennial’s signature floral and resinous pine notes. On the palate, the vibrant citrus of Citra leads a complex hop charge, supported by a clean, grainy malt backbone. Though described as full-bodied, it maintains the style's requisite drinkability with a dry finish and a firm, smooth bitterness. At 8.8% ABV, a well-integrated alcohol warmth rounds out the experience, making for a bold yet balanced expression of modern American hopping.

Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light orange-copper with a slight, modern haze. Features a moderate-sized, creamy off-white head with excellent persistence and decorative lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma with dominant notes of tropical fruit, grapefruit, and lime. Secondary notes of floral blossoms and earthy pine emerge as it warms. Malt presence is low and neutral, providing a clean, cracker-like foundation with a subtle, smooth alcohol note.

Taste. Strong and multi-layered hop flavors mirroring the aroma, with heavy tropical stone fruit and citrus zest. Bitterness is high and firm but lacks harshness or astringency. The malt is soft and unobtrusive, offering a light toasted character. Finishes dry to medium-dry with a long, resinous, and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, almost velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high, providing enough prickle to scrub the palate. A noticeable but gentle alcohol warmth is present without being hot or solventy.
