Monday Night Brewing Royal Raptor
Royal Raptor commands attention as a regal evolution of the Double IPA style, presenting a powerful sensory experience defined by its audacious citrus profile. This imperial-strength ale strikes a majestic balance between an assertive hop presence and a sturdy, supportive malt backbone that prevents the high bitterness from becoming harsh. The aroma is dominated by intense waves of fresh grapefruit and orange zest, leading into a flavor profile where resinous pine and tropical fruit notes intertwine with a clean, bready malt foundation. At nine percent alcohol by volume, it offers a smooth, warming sensation that complements its fuller body, culminating in a crisp, lingering bitterness that remains remarkably drinkable.
Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light orange-copper with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves resilient lacing. Clarity is good, though a very slight haze is present due to heavy dry-hopping.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent citrus zest and resinous pine. A supportive, clean, neutral to lightly grainy maltiness sits in the background. Fermentation profile is neutral with a very light hint of clean alcohol warmth.
Taste. Initial impression is a punch of audacious citrus and tropical fruit flavors. The malt character is sturdy and clean, offering a soft, bready foundation that balances a moderately high hop bitterness. The finish is medium-dry to dry, lacking any heavy sweetness, with a lingering hoppy and resinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. A noticeable but well-integrated and restrained alcohol warmth is present, without any hop-derived astringency.
