Abysmo Minotauro is a bold American IPA that bridges the gap between classic resinous intensity and new-world vibrancy. It presents a deep amber hue, signaling a sturdy malt foundation that supports its assertive hop-forward character. The sensory experience is lead by high-intensity aromas of fresh citrus zest and forest-like pine. On the palate, these cues translate into vivid grapefruit and resinous flavors, bolstered by a clean, toasted malt backbone. A firm, lingering bitterness defines the finish, providing the sharp, clean conclusion expected of the style, while the medium body ensures the complex hop profile remains the centerpiece.
