Summary: Imperial India Pale Ale<br><br>-Color – Gold to copper<br><br>-Clarity: Chill haze is acceptable at low temperatures. Haze created by dry hopping is allowable at any temperature.<br><br>-Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Low to High<br><br>-Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Hop aroma and flavor is very high. Hop character should be fresh and evident, derived from any variety of hops. Hop flavor should not be harsh.<br><br>-Perceived Bitterness: Very high but not harsh<br><br>-Body : Medium to full<br><br>-Additional notes: This style of beer should exhibit the fresh character of hops. Oxidized or aged character should not be present.<br><br>-ABV: 7.6%-10.6%<br><br>-Glassware: Pint Glass <br><br>Examples from GABF Winners List 2019<br><br>Gold Medal: Double Cone<br>Alvarado Street Brewery Salinas CA<br><br>9.3% ABV<br> <br>Notes from Brewery: “Hop Bomb” would be cliché to describe this beer. It goes way beyond that – intense aromas of pineapple, freshly crushed gooseberry, orange pith and the whole spectrum of “dank” blast through the glass. That’s what you get with nearly five pounds per barrel of Nelson, Mosaic, and Citra hops.<br><br>Silver Medal: Westbound Double IPA<br>Westbound and Down Brewing Co. Idaho Springs CO<br><br>9.3% ABV<br><br>Notes from Brewery : We did not hold back on this DIPA. A ludicrous amount of Vic Secret, Galaxy, Mosaic, and Cryo Mosaic hops pack big aromas of tangerine, blueberry, papaya, and other tropical fruits. Even with all of those hops you do get a nice sweet biscuit malt profile, that ends in a clean dry finish.<br><br>Craft Beer Storm Website: <a href="http://www.craftbeerstorm.com" rel="noopener">www.craftbeerstorm.com</a><br><br> <br>If your Company, Hotel or Restaurant wants to book a CraftBeer Weekend or Craft Beer Evening for your guests or employees send an email to <a href="mailto:Michael@craftbeerstorm.com">Michael@craftbeerstorm.com</a> <br><br><br><br>Subscribe to Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: <br><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2" rel="noopener">https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2</a><br><br><br>Support ACS In NYC Marathon<br>“32K In 64 days” - I signed up for the NYC Marathon through the American Cancer Society and I am aiming to raise $32,000 ($3,200 Minimum X 10X) - please follow link below to donate what you can - $25, $50, $30K! - Onward... - Here is link –<br><a href="http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=94035&pg=personal&px=49477898&fbclid=IwAR2mBEvhF1wMA_BbHPhkavichNSFrE9Y9gi2RVZzfQ_4Da5Sht7gvH9rY_k" rel="noopener">http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?fr_id=94035&pg=personal&px=49477898&fbclid=IwAR2mBEvhF1wMA_BbHPhkavichNSFrE9Y9gi2RVZzfQ_4Da5Sht7gvH9rY_k</a><br><br>*** A Top 20 Podcast in Food on iTunes ***<br><br>Michael Potorti is the Host of Craft Beer Storm and Founder/Brewer at Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth, NH<br><br>*** Interested in starting your own brewery?
