IPA - India Pale Ale 3.8 º 40 IBU

Ballast Point

This light-bodied American IPA presents a vibrant fusion of tropical fruit and classic West Coast hop character. Aromas of ripe, succulent mango lead the sensory experience, seamlessly integrating with a citrusy hop bouquet reminiscent of grapefruit and orange zest. Despite its sessionable strength, the beer maintains a firm bitterness that cuts through the fruit additions. The palate is crisp and clean, featuring a subtle, grainy malt backbone that allows the mango and hops to remain the primary focus. It finishes remarkably dry and refreshing, making it a quintessential easy-drinking session ale for those seeking intense hop and fruit expression without high alcohol.

Appearance. Pale gold to light amber (4–6 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, persistent white head and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Prominent fresh mango and tropical fruit notes. Strong citrus hop character featuring grapefruit and lemon zest. Low grainy, crackery maltiness. Very clean fermentation profile with no noticeable esters beyond the fruit addition.

Taste. Immediate juicy mango flavor followed by sharp citrus and light pine hop notes. Moderate-high bitterness provides a crisp counterpoint to the fruit. Low grainy malt presence provides minimal support. Finishes very dry and clean with a lingering hoppy and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light body with a smooth texture. High carbonation. No alcohol warmth. Refreshing and crisp without any perceived astringency.
