Imperial IPA 8 º

Grimm Artisanal Ales

Cloudbusting #13 is a powerful Double IPA that showcases an explosive aromatic profile driven by a sophisticated blend of Riwaka, Nectaron, Superdelic, and Nelson Sauvin hops. The sensory experience is dominated by intense layers of tropical fruit, specifically passionfruit and sun-ripened pineapple, paired with the distinctive gooseberry and crushed white wine grape character of Nelson Sauvin. Superdelic contributes a unique red fruit and candy-like depth, while Nectaron provides a lush peach foundation. At 8% ABV, the beer offers a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth that supports the massive hop saturation without overshadowing the clean, neutral malt backbone and firm, resinous finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange; moderate haze with a large, persistent, off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring complex notes of passionfruit, white wine grapes, peach, and citrus. Subtle red berry and tropical fruit esters are present, supported by a very low, clean, grainy malt character.

Taste. High hop flavor intensity reflecting the aroma with bold grapefruit, pineapple, and vinous gooseberry. Bitterness is high and firm but not harsh, balancing a lean, neutral malt profile. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a long, lingering hop-derived bitterness and fruit skin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A gentle, well-restrained alcohol warmth is present, without any hop-derived astringency.
