Imperial IPA 7.5 º 30 IBU

Põhjala
Verdant Brewing Co

This collaboration between Põhjala and Verdant results in a vibrant Double IPA that balances power with high drinkability. A complex hop bill featuring Sabro, El Dorado, Citra, and Galaxy delivers an aromatic storm of creamy coconut, ripe pineapple, and zesty tangerine. Despite its hazy appearance, the beer maintains the structure of its style, offering a lean malt backbone that allows the tropical fruit and citrus notes to shine. The finish is assertive and clean, marked by a firm bitterness and a soft, integrated warmth from the 7.5% ABV, staying true to the spirit of a modern, hop-forward strong ale.

Appearance. Hazy gold to light orange-copper color; moderate-sized, persistent white head with fine lacing.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma featuring prominent coconut and tropical fruit from Sabro, stone fruit and melon from El Dorado, and sharp citrus from Citra. High passionfruit and peach notes from Galaxy are supported by a clean, neutral-grainy malt background. Light fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. Dominant hop flavors of pineapple, coconut, and lime; high hop bitterness that remains smooth and clean without harshness. Low, supportive grainy malt profile with minimal sweetness. Dry to medium-dry finish with a lingering hoppy, bitter aftertaste and clean fermentation character.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture; moderate carbonation. Soft, restrained alcohol warmth that is well-integrated. Lacks any harsh hop-derived astringency.
