Imperial IPA 8.9 º

Sofia Electric Brewing

This Double IPA presents a vibrant sensory profile driven by a heavy-handed addition of Citra, Nelson Sauvin, and Galaxy hops. The aroma leads with intense notes of white grape, passionfruit, and crushed gooseberry, underscored by bright citrus zest. On the palate, the hop intensity remains high, delivering layers of tropical fruit and a clean, resinous snap supported by a lean, neutral malt base. Despite its 8.9% ABV, the beer maintains high drinkability with a dry finish and a firm, well-integrated bitterness. Smooth alcohol warmth rounds out the experience, creating a modern, hop-forward powerhouse that balances complexity with punchy fruit character.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange (approx. 7-8 SRM) with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves delicate lacing. Clarity is good, showing only a very slight haze consistent with heavy dry-hopping.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent white wine grape and gooseberry from the Nelson Sauvin, paired with passionfruit from Galaxy and bright grapefruit from the Citra. A neutral, grainy malt character sits in the background with a clean fermentation profile and a hint of smooth alcohol.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavors of tropical fruit, peach, and citrus dominate the initial impression. Bitterness is firm and moderately high but remains smooth and lacking harshness. A low, clean, soft malt character provides a brief foundation before transitioning into a dry, lingering hoppy finish with a touch of clean alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp bite that aids drinkability. A noticeable, well-restrained alcohol warmth is present without any hop-derived astringency.
