Imperial IPA 8 º 20 IBU

Cervezas Río Azul

This Double New England IPA presents a sophisticated sensory profile led by the interplay of Wai-iti and Simcoe Cryo hops. The initial impact is a vivid wave of ripe peach and juicy citrus, followed by nuanced whispers of fresh lime. True to its hazy nature, the beer offers a luxurious, creamy texture that coats the palate without being heavy. Despite the 8% ABV, the alcohol is elegantly integrated as a soft warmth that supports the intense fruit character. The finish is smooth with a remarkably restrained bitterness, allowing the stone fruit and tropical hop layers to linger gracefully in an evocative, enveloping experience.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange; opaque and hazy with a significant, stable, creamy white head that leaves consistent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by stone fruit, specifically ripe peach and apricot from the Wai-iti, complemented by bright lime and tropical citrus notes. A clean, bready malt background supports the hops, while the Simcoe Cryo adds a subtle, fresh resinous edge.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of juicy hop flavors featuring peach and zesty lime. The malt provides a neutral, soft, bready foundation. Bitterness is moderate and smooth rather than aggressive, focusing on hop saturation. The finish is clean and medium-dry, with a lingering aftertaste of tropical fruit and citrus peel.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and exceptionally creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the richness without any harshness or astringency.
