Imperial IPA 8.8 º 65 IBU

Noiseless

This Double IPA is an olfactory explosion of New Zealand terroir, driven by a heavy double dry-hop addition of Rakau, Motueka, Pacifica, and Mosaic. Expect a sensory landscape of ripe apricot and stone fruit from the Rakau, sharpened by the distinct lime zest and mojito-like citrus of Motueka. Pacifica adds layers of orange marmalade, while Mosaic provides a complex berry and tropical undertone. At 8.8% ABV, the beer maintains a lean, clean malt profile that highlights the hops' vibrancy without becoming heavy, finishing dry with a firm but smooth bitterness that invites another sip.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing. Clarity is mostly clear with a subtle, soft haze characteristic of double dry-hopping.

Aroma. Intense tropical and stone fruit aromatics dominate, featuring ripe apricot, peach, and crushed lime. Secondary notes of orange peel, blueberry, and a hint of pine emerge against a background of clean, neutral, grainy-sweet malt. Fermentation is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. The initial palate is a rush of hop flavor, mirroring the aroma with lime, orange, and succulent stone fruit. Bitterness is high but clean and well-integrated, lacking any harsh vegetal quality. A minimal, soft malt presence supports the hop intensity. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering citrus and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 8.8% ABV without being solventy.
