Imperial IPA 8 º

Other Half Brewing Co.
Parish Brewing Co.

This collaborative Double IPA delivers a vibrant sensory explosion driven by the hop sparkle of intensive cryo hopping. Citra and Nectaron take center stage, projecting a saturated bouquet of ripe mango, passionfruit, and bright tangerine. The addition of Luminosa introduces nuanced layers of white peach and zesty lime peel. Despite its 8% ABV strength, the profile remains incredibly clean and focused on hop expression, supported by a lean, neutral malt backbone. Expect a crisp, dry finish where a firm bitterness balances the lush tropical fruit character, exemplifying the modern, highly drinkable approach of these renowned hop-forward breweries.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (7-9 SRM); persistent, creamy white head with excellent lacing; slight haze is present, characteristic of modern heavy dry-hopping.

Aroma. Intense, pungent aroma of tropical fruit and citrus. Prominent notes of mango, peach, and pineapple from the Citra and Nectaron, with a floral, lime-like lift from Luminosa. Background malt is very low and neutral, providing a soft, crackery base.

Taste. Dominant hop flavors of grapefruit, passionfruit, and stone fruit. Bitterness is moderately high but smooth, avoiding harshness. The malt provides a soft, bready support without residual sweetness. Finishes dry with a long, resinous, and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate carbonation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the fullness without being solventy or hot.
