Imperial IPA 7.5 º

Outer Range Brewing Co.

This Double IPA presents an intense aromatic profile driven by Citra, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops. Lush layers of tropical fruit and bright orange zest dominate the nose, while a soft, creamy texture provides a luxurious mouthfeel that balances the firm bitterness. The palate follows with concentrated notes of mango and citrus, supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone. Despite its strength, the beer finishes remarkably dry and crisp, showcasing a modern hop-forward character that emphasizes drinkability and vibrant fruit expressions without the heavy sweetness or complex maltiness often found in stronger ales.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper with a moderate-sized, persistent white head and slight to moderate haze.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent orange, mango, and pineapple notes from Citra and Amarillo, supported by a resinous pine character from Simcoe; low neutral malt and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression of intense tropical fruit and orange zest; moderately high bitterness that is firm but not harsh; low, soft, neutral malt character with a very dry finish and a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture; moderate carbonation with a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth and no hop-derived astringency.
