American IPA 8.5 º

orca brau

A bold tribute to the classic West Coast profile, this American IPA offers an intense sensory journey characterized by aggressive hopping and a clean, firm malt backbone. Inspired by the legendary Double Jack, it presents a punchy aromatic profile of resinous pine, grapefruit rind, and citrus zest. The palate follows with a sharp, high bitterness that dominates a subtle foundation of toasted grain and light caramel. Despite its higher strength, the beer maintains a crisp, dry finish with a smooth, integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the lingering, hoppy aftertaste. It is a quintessential hop-forward experience prioritizing clarity and aromatic intensity.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale amber (approx. 8–12 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, persistent off-white head that leaves thick lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of resinous pine, grapefruit, and orange peel. Secondary floral and spicy hints are supported by a low, clean, bready malt presence. Fermentation is clean with no significant esters or phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean bitterness that remains high through the finish. Vibrant hop flavors of pine needles and citrus pith are balanced by a restrained toasted malt character. The finish is dry and crisp with a long-lasting, hoppy, and bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively bite. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, though it remains free of harshness or astringency.
