Lumberbeard Brewing What Once Was
Imperial IPA 8.3 º
This Double IPA captures a nostalgic West Coast essence while leaning into a more modern, vibrant fruitiness. At 8.3% ABV, it presents a punchy profile of citrus zest and tropical stone fruit, supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone that stays out of the way. Unlike the heavier, resinous versions of the past, this beer emphasizes a cleaner mouthfeel and a drier finish that enhances its overall drinkability. Expect a bold, hop-forward experience where the bitterness is assertive yet smooth, allowing waves of melon and light pine to linger on the palate. It balances classic hop intensity with a bright, fruit-forward character for a refreshed take on a powerful style.
Appearance. Presents a pale gold to light orange-copper hue (6-9 SRM) with good clarity and a slight, acceptable haze. It is topped by a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with strong lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma showcasing citrus, tropical fruit like mango and melon, and a hint of pine resin. The malt character is low and neutral, providing a light grainy background. The fermentation profile is clean with very subtle fruity esters and a soft, well-integrated alcohol presence.
Taste. Dominant hop flavors of grapefruit, stone fruit, and resinous spice lead the palate. Bitterness is firm and high but lacks harshness, balanced by a light, bready malt character. The finish is dry to medium-dry, leaving a clean, lingering hoppy bitterness and a touch of tropical fruit on the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, crisp texture and a cleaner finish than traditional versions. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively effervescence. Alcohol warmth is noticeable but smooth and restrained, with no significant hop-derived astringency.
