Imperial IPA 8.5 º

Modestman Brewing LLC

Modestman Brewing’s Ducks is a masterclass in the Double IPA style, presenting a vibrant sensory journey that belies its 8.5% ABV. The profile is dominated by a diverse hop melange, delivering intense aromas of succulent melon, bright citrus, and lush tropical fruits. On the palate, the experience mirrors the nose, where a crisp citrus foundation meets exotic tropical notes. Despite its strength, the beer remains impressively dry and easy-drinking, featuring a clean malt backbone that allows the hops to remain the focal point. It concludes with a balanced, refreshing finish, showcasing a sophisticated hop profile that feels both modern and exceptionally well-integrated.

Appearance. Gold to light orange (6-8 SRM) with good clarity and a moderate-sized, persistent white head that leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of honeydew melon, grapefruit zest, and pineapple. A subtle, clean, bready malt presence sits in the background, supported by a neutral fermentation profile and a faint, well-integrated alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial burst of hop flavor featuring citrus pith and tropical mango followed by a firm, clean bitterness. The malt character is low and unobtrusive, providing soft, grainy support. It finishes very dry with a lingering hoppy and citrus-driven aftertaste that avoids harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle. The 8.5% ABV is felt as a restrained, gentle warmth rather than sharp heat, with no hop-derived astringency.
