American IPA 7.1 º

Ale-Mania Bonn

Maniac is a robust American IPA that showcases a sophisticated hop profile against a solid foundation of Pale Ale malt and Caramel malt. The aroma is an intense bouquet of citrus and floral notes, driven by Centennial, layered with the tropical mango and stone fruit character of Azacca. Simcoe and Columbus provide a sharp, resinous, and piney edge, while Sabro introduces a unique, subtle hint of coconut. On the palate, a firm bitterness balances the light toasty sweetness of the malt, leading to a crisp, dry finish. This medium-bodied ale delivers a harmonious blend of classic pine and contemporary tropical flair.

Appearance. Deep gold to light copper (SRM 8-10); brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, off-white head showing excellent persistence and lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, pine resin, and tropical mango. Subtle undertones of coconut and cedar are present. A clean, low bready maltiness provides a supportive background with minimal esters.

Taste. Strong hop flavors of citrus zest, tropical fruit, and damp pine dominate the palate. A medium-high bitterness is present from start to finish but remains clean. The Pale Ale malt provides a grainy, slightly bready foundation with a touch of caramel sweetness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the heavy hopping. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp bite. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated.
