Parish Brewing Co. Ghost X
Imperial IPA 8 º
This saturated Double IPA delivers an intense sensory experience, celebrating a decade of hop innovation. The profile is dominated by a complex, tropical tapestry driven by heavy dry-hopping with Puterbaugh Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe. Expect a massive punch of guava, passion fruit, and mango, amplified by the thiol-boosting addition of Phantasm powder. Cascade and Amarillo Fresh CGX hops introduce layers of dank citrus and resinous pine. While the hop intensity is staggering, the beer remains balanced by a lean, neutral malt backbone that allows the vibrant fruit characteristics to shine, finishing with a firm bitterness and a smooth, clean alcohol warmth.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange (7 SRM); thick, persistent, creamy white head with excellent lacing; hazy to opaque due to extreme dry-hopping rates.
Aroma. High to pungent intensity; explosive tropical fruit notes of mango, pineapple, and passion fruit; distinct dank citrus and grapefruit peel; very low, neutral, crackery malt; clean fermentation profile with a hint of smooth alcohol.
Taste. Initial impression is a massive burst of tropical fruit and citrus oils; flavors of tangerine, blueberry, and stone fruit lead into a resinous, dank middle; high bitterness that is firm but smooth and devoid of harshness; supportive, clean malt character; dry to medium-dry finish with a long, lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, slightly creamy texture; moderate-high carbonation; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth; low astringency despite the super-saturated hop load.
