Imperial IPA 7.5 º 50 IBU

Spore
La Brèche

This Double IPA showcases a vibrant interplay between classic Amarillo hops and the unique addition of Aji Amarillo peppers. The sensory journey begins with an intense bouquet of grapefruit, orange zest, and floral notes, typical of the hop variety, layered over a subtle, peppery spice. On the palate, the hop bitterness is firm but clean, supported by a lean malt profile that allows the earthy, tropical fruit flavors of the peppers to shine without overwhelming the senses. A restrained warmth from the 7.5% ABV and a gentle capsicum tingle provide a complex, dry, and lingering finish that remains highly drinkable despite its intensity.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (8-10 SRM). Good clarity with a slight haze from hop and pepper oils. Features a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by orange, grapefruit, and floral notes from the Amarillo hops. A distinct secondary aroma of fruity, earthy peppers is present. Malt is low and neutral-grainy. Clean fermentation with no solventy alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression is strongly hoppy with citrus and resin. The pepper addition contributes a unique tropical fruitiness and a mild savory spice. Bitterness is high but smooth, not harsh. The malt character is clean and soft, supporting a dry to medium-dry finish with a lingering hoppy and spicy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, complemented by a light, warming capsicum sensation from the peppers. No harsh astringency.
