Baias Chichen Itza
American IPA 7 º
Chichen Itza is a vibrant American IPA that celebrates the Equinox hop variety with singular focus. This 7% ABV pour radiates with an intense bouquet of lime zest, ripe papaya, and subtle herbal undertones characteristic of its namesake hop. On the palate, a firm bitterness cuts through a lean, grainy malt base, allowing flavors of lemon peel and tropical fruit to take center stage. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, ensuring the nuanced berry and green pepper notes of Equinox shine through. With its dry finish and refreshing carbonation, this ale offers a modern, hop-forward experience that remains balanced and drinkable.
Appearance. Medium gold to light reddish-amber (approx. 7-10 SRM) with a clear presentation and a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing.
Aroma. Intense hop-forward aroma dominated by Equinox hops, displaying prominent notes of lime, lemon, and tropical papaya alongside subtle herbal and green pepper scents. A low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a neutral backdrop.
Taste. Initial hop-forward impression with high bitterness that lingers into a dry finish. Flavors mirror the aroma, featuring lemon zest, papaya, and a touch of berry. The malt character is low and supportive, offering a clean, grainy flavor without caramel interference. Clean fermentation with minimal esters.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp bite. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 7% ABV, but with no harshness or astringency.
