Tin Barn Brewing Nuclear Queen
Imperial IPA 12 º
This formidable Quadruple IPA radiates with an explosive sensory profile driven by a massive payload of Citra hops. The experience is dominated by an intense, saturated blast of ripe orange and caramelized pineapple, reflecting a concentrated juicy character. Despite its significant strength, the malt remains a supportive, clean foundation that allows the tropical fallout to take center stage. This collaboration delivers a high-impact sensory assault, marrying resinous depth with a bright, citrus-forward radiance. The finish is assertive but smooth, masking its formidable potency behind layers of vibrant fruit and a lingering, structured bitterness typical of the most aggressive Strong American Ales.
Appearance. Deep gold to pale orange (8-10 SRM). Pours with a dense, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing. Significant haze to opacity consistent with modern high-gravity, hop-forward styles.
Aroma. Intense aroma of ripe pineapple, navel orange, and mango. High hop intensity featuring clean citrus and tropical fruit notes from the heavy use of Citra hops. Low, neutral grainy malt in the background; alcohol is noticeable but clean and floral, never solventy or harsh.
Taste. Initial impression is a saturated wave of tropical fruit. Strong hop flavors of orange zest and pineapple dominate. Medium-high bitterness provides a firm structure without being harsh. The malt flavor is low and neutral, supporting a medium-dry finish that lingers with resinous hop oils and a touch of residual fruit sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation. A distinct, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the high gravity. No significant hop-derived astringency despite the massive hop charge.
