IPA - India Pale Ale 8.88 º 80 IBU

Rogue Ales

This brash Double IPA showcases the bounty of Rogue Farms, weaving a complex tapestry of eight hop varieties including Liberty, Newport, and Revolution. Unlike leaner modern examples, it features a burly malt backbone driven by Maier Munich and CaraRed malts, yielding distinct sensory notes of rich caramel and toffee. The signature Pacman Yeast ensures a clean fermentation profile, allowing the diverse hop characteristics—ranging from spicy resin to floral citrus—to provide a necessary balance to the substantial malt sweetness. It pours a deep copper with an assertive bitterness that lingers on the palate, embodying a bold, malt-forward approach to this high-gravity American style.

Appearance. Deep gold to orange-copper in color. Excellent clarity with a thick, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent pine resin, spicy florals, and faint citrus. A strong, supportive malt character provides deep notes of caramel, toffee, and toasted grain. Clean fermentation profile with a subtle, well-integrated alcohol note.

Taste. Initial impression is a wave of caramel and toasted malt sweetness. Hop flavors follow quickly with earthy spice, pine, and herbal notes. Bitterness is high and firm, yet balanced by the Maier Munich malt depth. The finish is medium-dry with a long, lingering resinous bitterness and a touch of residual toffee.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth from the 8.88% ABV, with no harsh hop-derived astringency.
