Imperial IPA 8 º 111 IBU

Reptilian Brewery

This gluten-free Imperial Pale Ale presents a bold sensory experience centered on the unique Sorachi Ace hop. Pouring a deep amber, it offers a complex aromatic profile where distinctive notes of lemon zest and toasted coconut intertwine with a rich, caramelized malt backbone. On the palate, the Sorachi Ace provides a sharp citrus punch and creamy coconut depth, balanced by a sturdy malt sweetness that supports the 8% ABV. Despite its alternative grain base, the beer maintains a remarkably full body and a lingering, firm bitterness, delivering a singular, citrus-forward twist on the classic Double IPA profile.

Appearance. Deep amber to copper in color. Shows good clarity for an alternative grain beer, though a slight haze may be present. Topped with a dense, off-white head with persistent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent lemon peel, lemongrass, and a distinct creamy coconut character from the Sorachi Ace. Balanced by a moderate sweet, toasted caramel malt presence and a clean, subtle alcohol warmth.

Taste. Bold hop-forward flavors of lemon and coconut dominate the initial impression. A solid caramelized malt foundation provides a sweet, bready counterpoint. Medium-high to high bitterness provides a firm structure, finishing dry to off-dry with lingering herbal and citrus notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body, which is notable for a gluten-free selection. Moderate carbonation creates a smooth texture. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
