Imperial IPA 7.5 º

Principle Brewing

Aeroplane Mode showcases the unique profile of New Zealand’s Dolcita hops, delivering an aromatic intensity that defines the modern Double IPA. The sensory experience is led by vivid notes of ripe peach, red berries, and sweet pear, supported by a clean, neutral malt backbone that allows the hop character to shine. Despite its 7.5% ABV, the beer maintains high drinkability through a dry finish and a firm, clean bitterness that never becomes harsh. This interpretation emphasizes tropical fruit and stone fruit complexity, finishing with a lingering resinous quality and a hint of smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth.

Appearance. Deep gold with light orange hues; excellent clarity with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves detailed lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent peach, pear, and red berry notes from the Dolcita hops; background malt is neutral and grainy with a very low floral alcohol presence.

Taste. Immediate impact of tropical and stone fruit hop flavors; bitterness is high but smooth. A minimal crackery malt character supports a dry, crisp finish with a long-lasting fruity and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate-high carbonation; features a smooth, creamy texture and a light, refined alcohol warmth without astringency.
