Imperial IPA 8 º

Kettlehead Brewing

Double Coupon Day is an assertive Double IPA that showcases a sophisticated hop profile featuring New Zilla, HBC 586, and a strategic touch of Sabro. The sensory experience opens with an intense tropical canopy of guava, mango, and lychee driven by HBC 586, layered over bright, zesty citrus notes from the New Zilla additions. A subtle, creamy whisper of coconut from the Sabro adds a modern complexity to the finish. Despite its 8% ABV, the beer remains exceptionally drinkable with a lean malt profile that provides just enough support for the aggressive bitterness without introducing heavy caramel tones. It finishes dry and crisp, leaving a lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste.

Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light orange-copper with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing. Clarity is good, though a very slight chill haze may be present.

Aroma. Prominent to intense hop aroma characterized by tropical fruit, crushed citrus, and stone fruit. Secondary notes of coconut and mint are subtle. The malt presence is low and clean, offering a neutral grainy background with no significant caramel; fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters.

Taste. High hop flavor intensity mirroring the aroma with layers of grapefruit, guava, and tropical punch. Bitterness is high and firm but remains smooth rather than harsh. The malt is supportive and soft, providing a clean canvas. The finish is dry to medium-dry, characterized by a long-lasting, clean hop bitterness and light fruitiness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its strength without being hot or solventy. No hop-derived astringency.
