Imperial IPA 7.7 º

Magic Road

This Double IPA showcases a punchy synergy between Amarillo and Lotus hops, delivering an intensely aromatic experience. Expect a vibrant sensory profile defined by citrus zest, orange blossoms, and a distinct creamy vanilla or berry-like undertone characteristic of the Lotus variety. The 7.7% ABV provides a lean, warming backbone for the 18 BLG gravity, ensuring a drinkable yet potent experience. A firm bitterness cuts through the soft, pale malt base, leading to a dry, resinous finish typical of the style. The overall impression is one of intense hop saturation without heavy sweetness, maintaining a bright, modern hop-forward focus.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange with a slight haze. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with good lacing. SRM 6-8.

Aroma. Intensity is high, dominated by orange marmalade and grapefruit from Amarillo, alongside unique floral, vanilla, and grape-like notes from Lotus. The malt character is low and neutral, providing a clean, crackery background. Fermentation profile is clean with negligible esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of citrus and tropical fruit. Strong hop flavors of orange peel and stone fruit are supported by a light, bready malt character. Bitterness is high but smooth, providing a crisp counterpoint to the hop oils. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering resinous and citrusy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is noticeable but refined. Free of any harsh hop-derived astringency.
