Imperial IPA 9.5 º 36 IBU

Ice Breaker Brewing Co.

This Double IPA presents an assertive and modern sensory profile, leaning into the significant strength of its 9.5% ABV. The aroma is dominated by an intense fruity hop character, specifically highlighting distinctive red berry notes that weave through a backdrop of tropical fruit. The palate mirrors this intensity, supported by a neutral malt base that allows the hops to remain the primary focus. Despite its potency, the beer maintains a velvety, smooth texture and a clean, dry finish. It exemplifies the style's goal of high drinkability combined with aggressive hopping, offering a powerful yet well-integrated experience.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM). Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with good lacing. Generally clear, though a light haze from heavy dry-hopping is present.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma characterized by prominent red berry, melon, and tropical fruit notes. Background malt is clean and neutral, suggesting pale base grains. Fermentation is clean with very light fruity esters. A smooth, well-integrated alcohol presence is noticeable.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of hop-forward fruitiness emphasizing berries and citrus. Malt flavor is low and unobtrusive, providing a soft, bready foundation. Bitterness is high and firm but lacks harshness. The finish is dry to medium-dry, leaving a lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste that balances the high alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a notable velvety, smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A distinct but smooth alcohol warmth is present, consistent with the high ABV. No hop-derived astringency.
