Imperial IPA 9 º

Outer Range Brewing Co.

This potent Double IPA delivers an intense sensory experience driven by a massive dry-hop addition of Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy. The aroma is saturated with high-intensity notes of ripe mango and zesty grapefruit, transitioning into a lush stone fruit profile evocative of fresh peach. While the 9% ABV provides a smooth, integrated warmth, the palate remains remarkably drinkable with a lean, grainy malt base that allows the hops to dominate. A firm bitterness balances the tropical fruit esters, leading to a crisp, medium-dry finish characteristic of the style. The result is a bold, hop-forward profile that balances punchy citrus with deep, exotic fruit layers.

Appearance. Ranging from deep gold to light orange-copper (7-10 SRM). Displays a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with good lacing. While the style allows for good clarity, this dry-hopped version may exhibit a slight, acceptable haze.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, peach, and tropical mango. Secondary notes of passionfruit and berry are supported by a neutral, lightly grainy malt background. Clean fermentation profile with a subtle, well-integrated alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and citrus fruit flavors, specifically mango and peach. Hop bitterness is high but smooth, providing a firm structure without harshness. The malt flavor is low and unobtrusive, serving as a clean canvas for the Citra and Galaxy hops. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering, pleasant bitterness and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A noticeable but restrained alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its 9% strength, without any hop-derived astringency.
