Imperial IPA 8 º

Van Moll
Mad Scientist

Summer Madness is a vibrant Double IPA that captures the essence of tropical intensity through the addition of guava and passion fruit. A collaboration with Mad Scientist, it presents an opaque, sun-drenched appearance and an explosive aromatic profile dominated by pungent exotic fruits and bright citrus. The palate delivers a luscious interplay between tangy fruit juices and a firm, clean bitterness that defines the style. A soft, bready malt backbone provides structure without adding weight, leading to a smooth, medium-bodied finish. Despite the 8% ABV, the alcohol is seamlessly integrated, providing a gentle warmth that complements the beer’s lush, fruit-forward character.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (8–12 SRM); hazy to opaque; moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant notes of tropical guava and tart passion fruit; secondary citrus zest and light pine hop character; supportive low, clean, grainy-sweet malt; neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression of intense tropical fruit; strong guava and passion fruit flavors; moderately high bitterness that is firm but smooth; low, unobtrusive bready malt character; medium-dry finish with a lingering fruity and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture; moderate carbonation; noticeable but well-integrated, smooth alcohol warmth; no harsh astringency.
