IPA - India Pale Ale 7.2 º

3 Sons Brewing Co.

This vibrant American IPA showcases an intense Southern Hemisphere hop profile, leveraging a 7.2% ABV to carry a complex array of tropical aromatics. The sensory experience is dominated by Galaxy-like notes of passion fruit and pineapple, paired with the distinct vinous, gooseberry character of Nelson Sauvin. Against a clean, bready malt backdrop, the 'down under' hops deliver a wave of guava and lime zest. The appearance is a brilliant deep gold with a persistent white head. The bitterness is firm but smooth, leading to a dry, resinous finish that emphasizes Southern Hemisphere fruit complexity while maintaining the crisp structural integrity of the style.

Appearance. Deep gold (approx. 8 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a medium-sized, frothy white head with excellent persistence and heavy lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of passion fruit, crushed white grapes, and lime. Low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a neutral foundation. Fermentation profile is very clean, allowing the tropical and citrus hop characteristics to remain forward.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with high flavors of pineapple, gooseberry, and melon. Malt flavor is low and cracker-like, supporting a medium-high hop bitterness. The balance is decidedly bitter but not harsh. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering citrus peel and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from hop oils. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp, refreshing bite. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
