Imperial IPA 8.5 º

O'Clock Brewing

This Double IPA showcases a bold, singular expression of the Comet hop variety, delivering an intense sensory experience. The profile opens with a sharp, zesty citrus punch reminiscent of grapefruit peel and wild grass, anchored by deep resinous notes. As a strong ale, the 8.5% ABV provides a structural warmth that integrates seamlessly with a lean, neutral malt base, allowing the pungent, old-school hop character to dominate. The palate is defined by high bitterness and a clean, dry finish, emphasizing the hop's complex interplay of tropical fruit and dank pine. It is a focused, high-impact representation of the style’s power and hop-forward intent.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper with moderate clarity. Supports a thick, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Intense and pungent hop aroma featuring heavy grapefruit, resinous pine, and a distinct herbal, grassy character. Background notes of neutral, grainy malt are present, with a very subtle, clean alcohol sweetness and low fruity esters.

Taste. Dominant hop flavors of citrus zest and dank resin lead the charge, supported by a soft, unobtrusive grainy malt profile. Bitterness is high and firm but lacks harshness, transitioning into a very dry, lingering finish where hop oils and a hint of tropical fruit persist.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a crisp bite. A noticeable but well-restrained alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
