American IPA 8.2 º

Labtory Brewing Company

This bold American IPA presents an intense aromatic profile dominated by a tropical burst of ripened fruits. Highlighting the hop-forward character, vivid notes of succulent mango and sweet pineapple take center stage, supported by a clean, subtle grainy malt backbone. At 8.2% ABV, it leans into a more robust territory than standard examples, offering a punchy hop presence and a firm bitterness that balances the initial fruit sweetness. The finish is remarkably persistent, leaving a lingering hoppy and sweet impression on the palate. Its vibrant character and clean fermentation profile showcase a modern interpretation of the style where tropical fruit esters and hop oils converge seamlessly.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber with a slight haze. Topped by a medium-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit notes of mango and pineapple. A low, clean, grainy malt sweetness provides a supportive base. Fermentation is clean with very low esters and a faint, smooth alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is a wave of ripe tropical fruit, specifically mango and pineapple, transitioning into a medium-high hop bitterness. A low, clean maltiness provides balance, leading to a hoppy, lingering finish with a touch of sweetness. Bitterness is firm but not harsh.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its 8.2% strength.
