Alefarm Brewing

Constellations is a vibrant American IPA that showcases a celestial alignment of Galaxy, Eclipse, and Comet hops. The sensory experience begins with an explosion of tropical passion fruit and zesty mandarin orange, driven by the Galaxy and Eclipse varieties. As the beer opens up, Comet provides a sharp, grapefruit-forward citrus intensity and a subtle herbal resinous quality. This hop-driven profile is supported by a clean, light grainy malt base that ensures a crisp, dryish finish. Bold bitterness is well-integrated, leading to a lingering citrus zest aftertaste that invites another sip. It is a modern, bright representation of the style with high sensory impact.

Appearance. Medium gold to light amber in color with a slight haze. Topped by a persistent, medium-sized white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of passion fruit, mandarin orange, and zesty grapefruit. Hints of fresh pine needles and a light herbal spice emerge as it warms. Low, clean grainy malt sweetness provides a foundational backdrop without competing with the fruit-forward hop character.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and citrus fruit flavor, mirroring the aroma with mandarin and passion fruit at the forefront. Firm hop bitterness is present throughout, balancing a low grainy malt profile. The finish is medium-dry and clean, leaving a lingering hop-derived citrus and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, commensurate with its 6.5% strength.
