As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Juicy or Hazy Imperial or Double IPA calls for straw to light amber color with variable haze, high to intense fruity and juicy hop character and soft, well integrated bitterness, at 7.6 to 10.6 percent ABV and 30 to 80 IBU. The listed 8.0% ABV fits that range; no IBU is published.
