Imperial IPA 10 º 100 IBU

Schoppe Bräu

This Double IPA is an assertive, high-impact ale that lives up to its bold name with an intense hop-forward character. A pale gold to light copper pour reveals a bouquet of resinous pine, sharp citrus zest, and ripe tropical fruits. As the bigger brother to an XPA, it delivers a massive hop bite through high bitterness, balanced by a lean, neutral malt backbone that allows the hops to remain the focal point. At 10% ABV, a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth emerges, enhancing the dry finish and lingering resinous aftertaste. It is a powerful, uncompromising expression of the style.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7-10 SRM). Clear with a moderate, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aromas of grapefruit peel, resinous pine, and mango. Background notes of crackery, neutral malt. Clean fermentation with a subtle hint of warming ethanol.

Taste. Intense hop-forward profile featuring citrus oil, pine resin, and stone fruit. Bitterness is high and assertive but stops short of harshness. Malt is supportive and clean, with minimal toast or caramel. Finishes dry and crisp with a long, bitter, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture. Medium carbonation. Notable but clean alcohol warmth that provides a slight glow without being solventy.
