Belgian IPA 8.5 º 33 IBU

Pitcher Beer

This Belgian IPA presents a complex marriage between New World hop character and traditional continental fermentation. The inclusion of Nelson Sauvin hops provides a distinctive sensory profile reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc grapes, gooseberry, and crushed white currants. These vinous notes are bolstered by the expressive Abbey style yeast, which contributes a "punchy" spicy character and esters typical of high-gravity Tripels. At 8.5% ABV, it carries a noticeable but well-integrated warmth. The result is a dry, hop-forward Specialty IPA that balances intense fruitiness with a peppery, phenolic finish and a firm, clean bitterness that defines the style.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (6–12 SRM). Large, creamy white head with excellent persistence and lacing. Clear to slightly hazy.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Strong notes of white grape and tropical fruit from Nelson Sauvin hops, paired with spicy, peppery phenols and fruity esters like pear and citrus from the Abbey style yeast. Low bready malt sweetness in the background.

Taste. Initial impression of white wine, gooseberry, and tropical hop flavors. High bitterness is balanced by a lean, bready malt profile. The Abbey style yeast adds a significant peppery and clove-like complexity. The finish is very dry and crisp with lingering hop resins and a clean, firm bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body. High carbonation creates a lively, effervescent sensation. Notable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, appropriate for the strength, without being solventy.
