Imperial IPA 8.2 º

Hocus Pocus

This Double IPA presents a vivid sensory experience driven by a massive 20g/L single-hop addition of Citra. It pours like a saturated fruit juice, radiating a deep gold with a dense, persistent white head. The aroma is dominated by an intense, luscious peach character, layered with secondary notes of tropical pineapple and zesty passion fruit. On the palate, the soft, velvety texture typical of the New England influence carries these stone fruit flavors forward, supported by a subtle, grainy malt backbone. Despite its 8.2% ABV, the alcohol is seamlessly integrated, leading to a smooth, restrained bitterness and a clean, fruity finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (8-10 SRM). Highly turbid and opaque, presenting a juice-like appearance. Thick, creamy, white head with excellent retention and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Explosive aromas of ripe peach and apricot dominate the profile. Supporting notes of tropical pineapple, passion fruit, and a hint of citrus zest from the Citra hops. Low, neutral, doughy malt character in the background. Very low clean fermentation esters; no solventy alcohol.

Taste. Immediate impact of tropical and stone fruits, primarily peach and pineapple. High hop flavor consistent with the Citra profile. Low, supportive crackery malt character. Bitterness is firm but exceptionally smooth and soft, lacking any harshness or resinous bite. Finish is medium-dry with a lingering tropical fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-restrained alcohol warmth that provides a gentle glow without being sharp. No hop-derived astringency.
