Sofia Electric Brewing Written Clouds
Imperial IPA 8 º
This Double IPA, a collaborative effort with Polly’s Brew Co., delivers an intense, saturated hop profile. The inclusion of Superdelic hops introduces distinctive notes of red berries and sweet fruit candy, while Citra contributes layers of ripe mango and juicy grapefruit. Motueka provides a bright, citrusy counterpoint with its signature crushed lime and lemon zest character. The sensory experience is defined by these vivid tropical notes set against a soft, supportive malt backdrop. Despite the strength, the beer maintains a smooth, plush texture and a refined bitterness, ensuring a modern, fruit-forward profile that emphasizes hop saturation over harshness.
Appearance. Pale gold to light orange (7 SRM). Significant haze with an opaque quality. Large, persistent white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring mango, passionfruit, and lime zest. Secondary notes of red berry and a candy-like sweetness are prominent. Background malt is very low and neutral. No solventy alcohol; clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit and citrus, specifically lime and mango. Low, bready malt sweetness provides balance. Hop bitterness is moderate and smooth, avoiding the aggressive bite of traditional examples. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering juicy fruit character and a touch of resin.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, soft, and pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. No hop-derived astringency; a light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
