Aurochs Session IPA is a refreshing Alternative Grain Beer that showcases a vibrant hop profile against a unique base of millet and quinoa. This hop-driven session ale opens with high-intensity aromas of citrus, pine, and lemon, followed by subtle notes of melon and grapefruit. The inclusion of millet and quinoa provides a slightly nutty, grainy foundation that supports the assertive bitterness typical of the style. With its light body and crisp finish, this brew delivers the bright hop character of an American IPA at a sessionable strength, all while highlighting the distinct, slightly earthy contribution of its gluten-free alternative grains.
Appearance.Straw to pale gold (SRM 3-5). Moderate white head with fair retention and light lacing. Generally clear, though a slight haze may be present from the alternative grains and dry-hopping.
Aroma.Moderate-high intensity hop aroma featuring notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, and resinous pine, with secondary hints of melon. The malt character is low, presenting as a light graininess with a subtle, unique nuttiness derived from the millet and quinoa. Clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Leading with a firm hop bitterness, the flavor profile is dominated by citrus pith, lemon, and pine needle. A light, bready, and slightly nutty grain character from the millet and quinoa provides a thin but necessary backbone. The balance is decidedly bitter. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering citrus and resinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Light to medium-light body, characteristic of alternative grains which tend to provide a thinner texture. Moderate-high carbonation. No alcohol warmth. Crisp and clean with very low astringency.
