Imperial IPA 7.4 º 30 IBU

Raduga

This Double New England IPA presents a tropical explosion driven by intensive additions of passion fruit, lychee, and calamansi purée. The aroma is dominated by these exotic fruits, supported by the resinous and pineapple notes of Sultana, the floral lift of Centennial, and the experimental citrus depths of EXP 13459. On the palate, a soft, pillowy malt base provides a canvas for layers of juicy tartness and sweet stone fruit. Despite its strength, the low bitterness provides a gentle counterpoint, resulting in a smooth, lush finish that emphasizes fruit purity over aggressive hop bitterness, maintaining the high drinkability expected of the style.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange-copper with a heavy, opaque haze. Features a thick, creamy, off-white head with excellent retention and dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Punchy tropical notes of passion fruit and sweet lychee lead, followed by the sharp, citrusy zest of calamansi. Hop character adds layers of pineapple, citrus peel, and a subtle floral undertone. Malt is low and bready, serving only as a neutral backdrop to the fermentation esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a juicy wave of tart passion fruit and calamansi citrus. Mid-palate reveals sweet lychee and the pineapple-forward character of Sultana hops. Bitterness is low and soft, well-integrated into the fruit acids rather than sharp. The finish is smooth and fruit-lingering with a clean, slightly sweet malt presence and minimal hop harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, contributing to a smooth mouthfeel without any hop-derived astringency.
