Imperial IPA 8.4 º

Willibald Farm Brewery

This Double IPA delivers a vibrant sensory experience defined by its complex Southern Hemisphere hop profile. Intensely aromatic, it leads with pungent passion fruit from Galaxy and the sharp, citrusy grapefruit bite of Riwaka. Nectaron introduces layers of lush stone fruit and sweet peach, while Vic Secret provides a tropical pineapple note and a subtle resinous finish. The malt presence is lean and unobtrusive, ensuring the focus remains on the saturated hop character. Despite its strength, the beer maintains a high level of drinkability with a firm, clean bitterness that balances the 8.4% alcohol, concluding with a dry, lingering tropical aftertaste.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (7-9 SRM). Brilliantly clear with a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring pungent passion fruit, pineapple, and stone fruit. Moderate citrus notes of grapefruit are present alongside a subtle resinous pine character. Malt is neutral and grainy in the background, with a clean fermentation profile and a hint of smooth alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of tropical and stone fruit flavors, specifically peach and mango. Bitterness is high and firm but smooth, balancing a very low, crackery malt presence. The finish is dry to medium-dry, characterized by a lingering hoppy bitterness and minimal residual sweetness. Complexity is driven by the interaction of the various tropical hop layers.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite. A gentle, restrained alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 8.4% ABV without being harsh or solventy.
