Imperial IPA 8.3 º

Mikkeller

Weird Weather IIPA is a lush, modern interpretation of a Double IPA, fully embracing the juice-forward characteristics of the New England style. It presents a saturated sensory profile, beginning with high-intensity aromas of overripe mango, pineapple, and zesty tangerine. The palate is a dense tapestry of tropical and soft stone fruit, supported by a creamy, pillowy mouthfeel that elegantly masks its 8.3% ABV. In a departure from classic iterations, the bitterness is remarkably restrained and supple, allowing succulent hop oils to take center stage. A subtle, bready malt backbone provides enough structure to ensure a smooth, rounded finish that lingers with a gentle, fruity sweetness.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange (SRM 5-7). Opaque and heavily hazy with a dense, persistent white head that leaves thick, soapy lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma featuring dominant notes of passion fruit, guava, and orange peel. Very low neutral bready malt character in the background with light fruity fermentation esters and a clean, well-integrated alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical juice and citrus zest. Malt flavor is low and bready, providing a soft platform for the hops. Bitterness is moderate and smooth rather than sharp. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, juicy hop aftertaste and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a distinctively creamy and pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a gentle, smooth alcohol warmth consistent with its strength, without any astringency.
