Aker Imperial IPA

◎ Aussehen

Aker presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a vibrant white head that demonstrates strong adhesion to the glass. Fine carbonation rises steadily through the body, creating a lively and inviting visual presence characteristic of the Imperial IPA style.

◌ Aroma

The nose is assertive and multi-layered, leading with bright citrus and pine from the ten-hop blend. Tropical fruit notes emerge alongside subtle orange zest, with a herbal undertone that grounds the composition without softening its intensity.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is bold and hop-driven, with immediate citrus and tropical fruit expression developing across the mid-palate. Significant bitterness—characteristic of the 120 IBU charge—builds steadily without becoming harsh, supported by a clean malt backbone that provides structure without sweetness. The 9% alcohol sits integrated, warming the finish with a slight boozy character.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and dry, with hop bitterness persisting into the aftertaste alongside lingering citrus and pine notes. No residual sweetness remains—the beer closes clean and uncompromising.

Serviertemperatur 8–11°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Die geschwungene Form konzentriert Hopfenaromen und hält den Schaum. Unverzichtbar für aromatische Ales und IPAs, bei denen die Nase die halbe Erfahrung ist.
