American IPA 6 º 50 IBU

Abirradero

This West Coast American IPA serves as a vibrant showcase for the Equinox hop, presenting a complex and evolving sensory profile. The pour reveals a brilliant gold body with a persistent white head. On the nose, intense layers of ripe melon and tropical papaya collide with zesty lime and tart green apple, backed by a unique hint of green pepper and mixed berries. The palate follows suit, balancing a firm, clean bitterness against a lean, grainy malt base. This single-hop exploration concludes with a crisp, dry finish, leaving lingering notes of citrus zest and spicy resin typical of modern hop innovation.

Appearance. Medium gold with brilliant clarity. Dense, white, medium-sized head with good persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward profile featuring prominent notes of cantaloupe melon, papaya, and lime zest. Underlying hints of red berries and green apple are complemented by a distinct, spicy green pepper note. Malt is low and clean, suggesting pale grains with a neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial punch of tropical fruit and citrus. Hop flavors of papaya and lime dominate the mid-palate, followed by a crisp apple-like tartness. Bitterness is firm and assertive but remains clean and supportive. Low grainy malt presence avoids sweetness, leading to a very dry, hoppy finish with a lingering resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a refreshing bite. No harshness or astringency is present, with only a very subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
