Imperial IPA 9 º

New Park Brewing

Set Wave is a formidable Double IPA that showcases an opulent hop profile driven by Galaxy and Citra. The inclusion of flaked wheat and flaked oats creates a soft, plush foundation for a tropical explosion. Intense aromas of fresh pineapple and pink guava lead into a palate saturated with orange juice and passion fruit flavors. Despite its 9% ABV, the beer remains bright and expressive, balancing a firm bitterness with a velvety texture. This clean, modern interpretation highlights Australian and American hop artistry, finishing with a lingering tropical resonance and a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the fruit complexity.

Appearance. Pours a deep gold to light orange-copper with a moderate haze from the heavy use of flaked grains. Features a thick, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical and citrus notes. Pronounced scents of passion fruit, pineapple, and guava from the Galaxy and Citra hops. A supportive, clean, grainy-sweet malt background with a hint of smooth, clean alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression of intense orange juice and tropical fruit flavor. Moderately high bitterness provides structure without being harsh. The flaked wheat and flaked oats offer a soft, bready malt support. The finish is dry to medium-dry, leaving a lingering aftertaste of pink guava and resinous hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without any harshness or hop-derived astringency.
