Imperial IPA 8 º 60 IBU

Ten Hands Brewing

Mayday is a vibrant Double IPA that showcases an intensive double dry-hopping regimen designed for high impact and drinkability. The sensory experience is dominated by a trifecta of hops: BRU-1 delivers distinct notes of freshly cut pineapple, while Citra contributes bright citrus layers and grapefruit zest. Idaho 7 rounds out the profile with fleshy stone fruit and a whisper of soft spice. Despite its sneaky strength, the beer maintains a lean, supportive malt backbone that stays unobtrusive. The appearance is notably hazy, reflecting its modern DDH character, while the finish remains clean and dry, inviting the next sip through a persistent bitterness.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (SRM 6-9). Significant haze with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent pineapple from BRU-1, bright citrus from Citra, and underlying stone fruit and resinous spice from Idaho 7. Neutral, grainy malt in the background with light fruity esters.

Taste. Strong and complex hop flavor mirroring the aroma with pineapple, orange pith, and peach. Moderately high bitterness that is firm but smooth. Soft, clean, neutral malt character. Dry to medium-dry finish with a lingering hoppy and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Medium-high carbonation. Restrained, smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated. No harsh hop-derived astringency.
