Imperial IPA 9 º 30 IBU

L'Instant
Gekko Brewing Company

This potent Double IPA is a vibrant celebration of hop intensity, crafted to deliver a lush, juice-forward experience. A distinctive trio of Citra, Ekuanot, and HBC630 hops drives the profile, erupting with layers of ripe mango, zesty lime, and a unique berry-candy sweetness. The 9% ABV provides a smooth, integrated warmth that carries the aromatic weight of stone fruit and tropical nectar. Beneath the heavy hop saturation, a clean, neutral malt base keeps the focus on the fruity character, finishing with a firm, refined bitterness that balances the initial sweetness, making every sip an exploration of modern hop complexity.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, deep gold to light orange-copper with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma dominated by citrus and tropical fruit from the Citra, complemented by herbal notes and green pepper from Ekuanot, and a unique berry or candy-like fruitiness from HBC630. Malt character is low and neutral-grainy, providing a subtle background for the hops. A clean, smooth alcohol presence is noticeable without being solventy.

Taste. High hop flavor echoes the aroma with a complex blend of grapefruit, melon, stone fruit, and red berries. Initial impression is fruit-forward with a low, supportive malt sweetness. Bitterness is firm and moderately high but lacks harshness. The finish is medium-dry with a clean, lingering hoppy aftertaste and a touch of smooth alcohol warmth.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. No hop-derived astringency is present despite the high hopping rate, and the alcohol provides a pleasant, restrained warmth.
