Imperial IPA 8 º

Kettlehead Brewing

GOAT II is a vibrant Double IPA that celebrates a bold hop-forward collaboration. The use of Valencia Orange Terpenes creates an immediate, zesty citrus punch that leaps from the glass, supported by the lush tropical layers of Nectaron and Citra hops. Expect vivid notes of ripe pineapple, passion fruit, and peach, while Mosaic adds a subtle berry and pine complexity. The malt profile remains intentionally lean to allow the hop oils and terpenes to dominate, leading into a firm but smooth bitterness. This ale balances its 8% ABV with a clean, dry finish that emphasizes modern fruit-forward intensity.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper with a slight modern haze. Moderate-sized, persistent white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring prominent Valencia orange zest and citrus oils. Supporting notes of tropical pineapple, peach, and passion fruit are evident, with a neutral, grainy malt background. Fermentation is clean with a hint of alcohol.

Taste. Strong, complex hop flavors of orange, tropical fruit, and stone fruit. Moderately high bitterness that remains smooth and avoids harshness. Minimal supportive cracker-like malt character. Finishes dry with a lingering hoppy and citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate-high carbonation. Restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
