ØL Beer Thor is a commanding Specialty IPA that strikes a balance between the darkness of a Black IPA and the expressive fermentation of a Belgian yeast. Vibrant aromas of citrus and tropical fruit emerge from the heavy use of Citra and Mosaic hops, which provide a sharp counterpoint to the spicy, phenolic character of the yeast. This medal-winning brew presents a complex sensory profile where restrained notes of chocolate and toasted malt from the dark grains support the high bitterness without overwhelming the palate. It finishes remarkably dry and clean, leaving a lingering impression of resinous hops and subtle fruity esters.
Appearance.Dark brown to black in color and clear, though nearly opaque. It is topped by a moderate-sized, persistent light tan to tan head with good lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high hop intensity featuring distinct citrus and stone fruit notes from Citra and Mosaic, alongside a noticeable spicy and fruity phenolic character from the Belgian yeast. A very low malt background of toast and light chocolate provides a supportive base without roasted harshness.
Taste.The initial impression is hop-forward, delivering citrus and tropical flavors that lead into a mid-palate of spicy phenols and light pear-like esters. A restrained malt flavor offers soft chocolate and coffee notes that do not clash with the firm bitterness. The balance is decidedly bitter and dry, finishing with a clean, lingering hop resin and a hint of dark grain.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth texture and moderate carbonation. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its 6.7% ABV, with no astringency from the roasted malts.
