Imperial IPA 8.5 º 120 IBU

La Pirata Brewing

La Pirata Tremenda is a bold Double IPA that delivers an assertive sensory experience, driven by an intense aromatic punch of Mosaic and Citra Cryo hops. Vibrant notes of tropical mango and citrus zest from Amarillo and Simcoe blend seamlessly with the resinous, earthy depth of Summit. While the brewer emphasizes a substantial malt load, the profile remains true to the style's core by maintaining a clean dryness that serves as a canvas for the massive hop saturation. At 120 IBU, the bitterness is firm and persistent, slicing through the moderate alcohol warmth for a lingering, resinous finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to light copper (8-12 SRM) with good clarity. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves dense lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent grapefruit, tangerine, and overripe pineapple from Citra and Mosaic. A secondary layer of resinous pine and spicy herbal notes from Summit and Simcoe is supported by a clean, grainy, and slightly toasted malt background. Neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a blast of citrus and tropical fruit hops. The flavor profile is dominated by dank pine, melon, and citrus zest. A massive, firm bitterness is immediately present but avoids harshness. Malt provides a supportive, unobtrusive toasted bread character. The finish is medium-dry and crisp, characterized by a long, resinous, and hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from high hop oil concentration. Carbonation is moderate-high. A smooth, restrained alcohol warmth is present without being solventy. Minimal hop-derived astringency.
