Imperial IPA 8 º

Riverlands Brewing Company

White Pointer captures the intensity of a Double IPA with a vibrant, modern twist. A heavy-hitting blend of Simcoe, Mosaic, Galaxy, and Citra hops unleashes a sensory flood of ripe mango, passionfruit, and bright citrus zest. This hazy pale-orange pour balances its 8% ABV with a soft, supportive malt backbone that emphasizes graininess over caramel. The bitterness is firm yet refined, leading to a smooth, dry finish that belies its strength. The interplay of resinous pine from Simcoe and the tropical depth of Galaxy creates a complex, multifaceted profile that remains remarkably drinkable, embodying the bold spirit of its namesake.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper with a distinct, opaque haze. Capped by a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves dense lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring a complex medley of passionfruit, tangerine, and berry notes. Supportive resinous and piney undertones are present. The malt is clean and neutral, offering a light, crackery background. Fermentation is clean with very low ester presence and a subtle, smooth alcohol note.

Taste. An initial explosion of tropical stone fruit and citrus oil. Hop flavors of mango and melon are prominent, leading into a moderately high bitterness that remains soft and integrated rather than harsh. The malt flavor is low, providing a soft, doughy support without residual sweetness. It finishes dry with a lingering resinous hop character and a clean, warming aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated into the finish. No hop-derived astringency.
