Imperial IPA 8.5 º

Nepenthe Brewing Co.

Mythslayer is a formidable Double IPA defined by an obsessive exploration of the Citra hop. Built on a soft foundation of 2-row malt and fluffy oats, the mouthfeel is remarkably smooth, providing a plush stage for massive hop saturation. Layers of Citra Incognito, Cryo, and pellets deliver a sensory onslaught of tropical fruit juice, zesty citrus rind, and a pungent, dank juice box character. While the strength is evident at 8.5% ABV, the beer remains impressively drinkable, balancing intense hop bitterness with a clean, supportive malt backbone. The result is a vibrant, modern powerhouse that celebrates the multifaceted, resinous nature of its primary hop.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (7-9 SRM) with a slight, persistent haze from the heavy oat addition. Topped by a moderate-sized, creamy, off-white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of mango, passionfruit, and bright grapefruit rind. A supportive, neutral grainy maltiness and light bready sweetness from the oats linger in the background, accompanied by a clean, resinous dankness and a subtle, smooth alcohol warmth.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of tropical fruit and citrus oil. Strong flavors of pineapple, tangerine, and resinous pine dominate, supported by a low to medium clean malt character. Moderately high bitterness is present but remains smooth and free of harshness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, complex hop aftertaste and a touch of orange pith.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, soft texture provided by the oats. Medium carbonation provides a gentle lift, while a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth is present without being hot or solventy. Low astringency.
