Imperial IPA 8.5 º

Modestman Brewing LLC

This Double IPA delivers a high-impact sensory experience powered by a potent blend of Citra, Nelson, and Galaxy hops. It opens with a vibrant bouquet of passion fruit and peach, underscored by the distinctive white wine and crushed gooseberry notes characteristic of Nelson. The palate is defined by an intense, clean bitterness and a lean, neutral malt backbone that allows the resinous and citrusy Citra profile to lead. Despite its 8.5% ABV, it remains remarkably drinkable with a dry finish. Layers of tropical pineapple from the Galaxy hops emerge mid-palate, concluding in a crisp, lingering hop-forward aftertaste that defines the modern Double IPA style.

Appearance. Gold to light copper in color (approx. 8 SRM) with a persistent, moderate-sized white head and good lacing. Clarity is high, with only a slight, acceptable haze from heavy dry-hopping.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and a vinous, white-grape character. Very low, neutral, grainy malt support. Fermentation profile is clean with a faint, smooth alcohol presence.

Taste. Strong tropical and citrus hop flavors dominate the initial impression. Malt flavor is low and neutral, providing just enough structure to balance the high bitterness. Bitterness is firm and clean, not harsh. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, resinous hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A light, well-restrained alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the overall strength without becoming solventy.
