1312 presents a bold, hop-forward character fitting for its combative spirit. Despite its sessionable strength, it leans into the assertive intensity of an American IPA. The sensory journey begins with a prominent bouquet of citrus zest, resinous pine, and hints of tropical fruit. The palate is defined by a clean, grainy malt backbone that provides a sturdy stage for high hop bitterness. This balance ensures a crisp, dry finish that lingers with a refreshing, hoppy snap. It is a vibrant, clear golden ale designed for impact, focusing on a clean fermentation profile that allows the American hop varieties to shine with unwavering clarity.
