Alexander IPA
Alexander IPA presents a bold expression of the American IPA style, balancing its 7% ABV with a punchy hop profile that earned acclaim at the Noblejas craft beer festival. The sensory experience is defined by vibrant aromas of resinous pine and bright grapefruit, supported by a subtle, clean foundation of pale malts. On the palate, a firm bitterness commands attention, transitioning into flavors of citrus peel and light toasted grain. Its dry finish and lively carbonation make it exceptionally drinkable despite its strength, while a smooth alcohol warmth rounds out the finish. This selection exemplifies the classic hop-forward character and balance expected of a modern powerhouse.
Appearance. Deep gold to copper-amber with brilliant clarity. Pours with a thick, frothy off-white head that exhibits excellent persistence and leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent notes of grapefruit zest, pine resin, and a hint of tropical mango. A low background of clean, crackery malt provides a neutral base, while fermentation remains very clean with minimal fruity esters.
Taste. Leading with a sharp, assertive hop bitterness, the flavor profile mirrors the aroma with layers of orange peel and resinous pine. The malt character is restrained, offering just enough bready sweetness to support the hops before fading into a crisp, medium-dry finish with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively scrub on the tongue. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any harshness.
