| Imperial IPA. Imperial (or double) India Pale Ale is a modern American extension of traditional English and American IPA's. They are much stronger and much hoppier than their standard strength cousins, but the best examples---like ours---still have good balance between hops and malt. With three packs of bittering hops and two more for flavor and aroma (including dry hopping) this beer packs about 90 gravity points for malt and 90 IBU's of hop bitterness. Want a big, hoppy beer? Give this one a try. |
