Dubhe Imperial Black IPA
Uinta Brewing
Company's lineup newest brew, Dubhe, an Imperial Black IPA.
Dubhe was named after Utah's Centennial Star, a star classified as a Red
Giant. Dubhe, the star, appears orange in color, and is found at the top end
of the big dipper's spoon. The name "Dubhe" continues Uinta's tradition of
celebrating the great state of Utah, however, "Dubhe" is a fitting name for
more than that reason: this beer is as black as the night sky and is brewed
with an astronomical amount of hops.
Dubhe is comprised of five hop varieties, a hop profile bold enough to shine
through the roasted, dark malt character of this beer. A citrusy hop aroma,
achieved by dry hopping with a proprietary blend of extreme Northwest hops,
balanced with notes of mild dark chocolate and a hint of sweet licorice.
Smooth from start to finish, Dubhe's layered flavor profile emerges with
rich and rounded toasted malt flavors, and is followed by a lively hop
bitterness. At over 5 pounds of hops per barrel, Dubhe is the most hop-laden
beer Uinta has ever produced.
This shinning new addition is brewed with hemp seed (A play on the name,
perhaps?), and has a far-out ABV of 9.2%.
