Plima presents as a modern, expressive Double IPA that balances significant hop saturation with a soft, approachable structure. This hazy interpretation delivers a complex sensory bouquet where bright citrus notes mingle with distinct berry undertones and a unique, creamy coconut character. Despite the robust strength, the palate remains smooth and juicy, avoiding the heavy sweetness or syrupy weight often found in maltier strong ales. The hop profile is the clear protagonist, offering waves of tropical fruitiness that lead into a clean, lingering finish. It exemplifies the contemporary shift toward high-impact aromatics and a plush mouthfeel while maintaining the refreshing, hop-forward core expected of the style.
Appearance.Deep gold to light orange (8 SRM); hazy with a thick, persistent white head and moderate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of sweet citrus, fresh berries, and a distinct tropical coconut character. Low, neutral grainy malt supports the aromatics. Clean fermentation profile with a very light, smooth alcohol presence.
Taste.Powerful hop flavors mirror the aroma with layers of orange citrus, ripe berries, and coconut. Low, soft maltiness provides a clean canvas. Bitterness is firm and moderately high but lacks harshness. Finishes dry and crisp with a long, resinous and fruity hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, plush texture. Moderate carbonation. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no hop-derived astringency.
