Imperial IPA 8.2 º

Maltgarden

This Hazy Double IPA showcases a modern hop profile driven by a significant double dry-hop addition of Eclipse, HBC586, and Topaz. The sensory experience is led by a saturated hop intensity, featuring dominant notes of sweet mandarin and citrus zest from the Eclipse hops, complemented by the tropical complexity of mango and guava attributed to HBC586. Topaz adds depth with subtle resinous spice and lychee undertones. At 8.2% ABV, it carries a well-integrated warmth that supports the soft, grainy malt backbone. The result is a lush, fruit-forward Double IPA with a smooth, velvety texture and a clean yet lingering hop-focused finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (6-8 SRM). Opaque and hazy. Large, persistent, creamy off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop-forward aroma featuring heavy tropical fruit (mango, guava), citrus (mandarin), and stone fruit. Subtle resinous and spicy notes in the background. Malt is low and neutral, providing a soft, doughy foundation. Fermentation is clean with very low esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a massive wave of tropical and citrus fruit flavor. Dominant mandarin, lychee, and ripe mango. Malt flavor is low, suggesting light bread, staying unobtrusive. Bitterness is firm and moderately high but lacks harshness, balanced by a soft mouthfeel. Finish is medium-dry with a long, resinous, and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present without being solventy. No hop-derived astringency.
