Lobik AURORA
Imperial IPA 6.5 º
This Double IPA showcases the unique Slovenian Aurora hop, providing a sophisticated sensory profile that diverges from typical citrus-heavy American versions. The aroma is dominated by Aurora's signature floral, spicy, and herbal notes, layered over a clean, neutral malt base. On the palate, expect an assertive bitterness that carries flavors of wildflower, pine resin, and a subtle lime-like zest. True to its West Coast inspiration, the beer maintains a crisp, dry finish with high attenuation, allowing the complex hop character to linger without being obscured by heavy malt sweetness. It is a brilliant, hop-forward experience that emphasizes resinous intensity and herbal elegance.
Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7-10 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a moderate-sized, persistent white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent floral, spicy, and herbal notes characteristic of Aurora hops. A supportive, neutral, and grainy maltiness sits in the background alongside a clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Strong hop flavors of dried herbs, pepper, and light resin. Moderately high bitterness that is clean and lacks harshness. Low, unobtrusive malt character with a very dry finish and a lingering hoppy, bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture and no hop-derived astringency. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp mouthfeel with a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth.
