Imperial IPA 8.5 º

Modestman Brewing LLC

Night And Day is a sophisticated Double IPA that masterfully balances high-impact hop saturation with surprising drinkability. The sensory profile is led by a complex, moderately dank character derived from a premium blend of Citra, Galaxy, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, and Riwaka hops. This multi-layered hop approach delivers a vibrant spectrum of tropical passionfruit and crushed lime against a backdrop of white grape and resinous pine. While the alcohol strength is notable at 8.5%, it remains remarkably well-integrated within a soft, lean malt frame. The result is a bold, citrus-forward experience that maintains a clean, refreshing finish despite its intensity.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (7–10 SRM); topped with a moderate-sized, persistent white head that leaves dense lacing; clarity is clear to slightly hazy, consistent with modern hopping techniques.

Aroma. Intense hop-forward bouquet featuring prominent notes of passionfruit, crushed lime, and white grape. A moderately dank, resinous undertone provides depth, supported by a low, clean, grainy-sweet malt presence. Fermentation is neutral, though a light, smooth alcohol warmth is detectable.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and citrus fruit, specifically guava and grapefruit, followed by the complex diesel and gooseberry traits of Nelson Sauvin. High bitterness is firm but smooth, lacking any harsh edge. The malt provides a soft, unobtrusive support with light toasted grain flavors. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering aftertaste of citrus oils and resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture; medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite that enhances drinkability. A restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated without astringency.
