Bad Seed Brewing Mink
This modern West Coast Session IPA delivers a vibrant sensory experience focused on extreme drinkability and a crisp, dry finish. A potent hop bill featuring Ekuanot, Citra, Simcoe, and Idaho 7 drives a bouquet of fresh grapefruit, sweet melon, and bright orange, underscored by a classic resinous pine note. Designed for rapid consumption, its profile is remarkably lean, allowing the multifaceted hop character to shine without heavy malt interference. The result is a bright, refreshing ale that balances high aromatic intensity with a clean, assertive bitterness, embodying a 'mink' style of effortless enjoyment perfect for warm weather.
Appearance. Pale gold to medium gold (6–8 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus (grapefruit, orange) and tropical fruit (melon) from Ekuanot and Citra. Simcoe and Idaho 7 contribute distinct resinous pine and subtle stone fruit notes. Low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a neutral backdrop with a very clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Assertive hop-forward initial impression mirroring the aroma with layers of grapefruit peel, orange, and pine. Low, grainy-sweet malt presence. High bitterness is clean and supportive, leading into a very dry, crisp finish. The aftertaste is lingering with citrus zest and resinous hop oils.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation enhances the refreshing, 'crispy' quality. No alcohol warmth is present at this strength, and there is no harsh astringency.
