Imperial IPA 8.5 º 80 IBU

Moonraker Brewing Company
Alvarado Street Brewery

This Double IPA collaboration between Moonraker and Alvarado Street highlights a vibrant hop profile driven by Mosaic and Citra. The sensory experience is defined by an intense, juicy character, bursting with bright citrus notes and a distinct touch of ripe melon. While the alcohol strength of 8.5% provides a gentle, well-integrated warmth, the beer remains remarkably drinkable. The hop-forward expression is supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone that allows the complex tropical and berry nuances of the Mosaic hops to shine. It balances assertive bitterness with a smooth, modern texture, finishing dry and refreshing despite its significant potency.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7–10 SRM) with a soft, modern haze. It features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma characterized by heavy citrus and tropical fruit. Specific notes of grapefruit and lime from the Citra hops are complemented by the complex berry, stone fruit, and melon profile of Mosaic. A low, grainy, neutral malt sweetness sits in the background with a clean fermentation profile and a hint of smooth alcohol.

Taste. The initial impression is a wave of juicy citrus and melon flavors. Hop bitterness is high but smooth and lacking harshness. The malt character is soft and unobtrusive, providing just enough structure to support the hops. Mosaic provides a multifaceted fruitiness that lingers alongside a crisp, dry finish and a clean, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A well-restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present but not solventy. Free of hop-derived astringency.
