Imperial IPA 8.5 º 80 IBU

Tilted Barn Brewery

This Double IPA delivers an intense saturation of American hop character, emphasizing bright citrus and tropical fruit notes against a restrained, neutral malt backbone. Despite the robust 8.5% ABV, the alcohol remains exceptionally subtle, providing a smooth, integrated warmth rather than a sharp bite. The profile is defined by its clean fermentation and a dry finish that highlights a lingering, resinous bitterness. It balances high-impact hopping with remarkable drinkability, offering a sensory experience that is bold yet refined, staying true to the modern expression of a potent, hop-forward ale that remains remarkably clean on the palate.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange-copper (7-10 SRM) with good clarity, though a slight hop haze is present. Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus zest, tropical passion fruit, and resinous pine. Supported by a low, neutral, grainy malt character and very light fruity fermentation esters. Alcohol is clean and integrated, not solventy.

Taste. Strong, complex hop flavors of grapefruit and mango lead into a moderately high bitterness that remains smooth rather than harsh. A low, supportive bready malt character provides balance without sweetness. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, clean hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, approachable texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crispness that aids drinkability. Features a restrained, smooth alcohol warmth and no hop-derived astringency.
