Imperial IPA 7.5 º

Gloucester Brewery

This Double IPA presents a modern, hazy profile, emphasizing intense fruitiness derived from a heavy-handed hop regimen. At 7.5% ABV, it balances a prominent hop-forward character with a clean, supportive malt base that remains unobtrusive. The unfined nature of the beer ensures a lush, saturated hop experience, showcasing notes of ripe tropical fruit and zesty citrus. A firm, assertive bitterness anchors the profile, leading to a dry and crisp finish that avoids any cloying sweetness or heavy malt presence. It is a vibrant and highly aromatic expression of the style, focusing on hop purity and drinkability.

Appearance. Color is gold to light orange (6-10 SRM); hazy to opaque appearance due to being unfined; moderate-sized, persistent white head with good lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit and citrus notes; background notes are clean and neutral with a faint grainy malt character; low fruity fermentation esters; clean alcohol presence without solvent notes.

Taste. Initial impression is strongly hoppy with complex tropical and citrus fruit flavors; moderately high bitterness that is firm but not harsh; low, clean malt character provides a soft foundation; dry finish with a lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture; moderate carbonation; restrained and smooth alcohol warmth; no harsh hop-derived astringency.
