This modern American IPA captures a vibrant surf spirit with an intense aromatic profile centered on bright citrus. Striking notes of lime, lemon, and orange peel lead a refreshing olfactory charge, supported by a lean, clean malt backbone. While it honors the West Coast IPA tradition with a dry, snappy finish and structured bitterness, a deliberate subtle haze provides a modern, soft mouthfeel. This textural elegance balances the sharp citrus zest, resulting in a highly drinkable, hop-forward experience that finishes clean and crisp with lingering citrus oils and a refreshing, resinous bite.
Appearance.Pours a medium gold with a subtle, intentional haze. Topped by a persistent, medium-sized white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass as it recedes.
Aroma.High intensity citrus aromas of fresh lime zest, lemon curd, and expressed orange peel dominate. Low, clean grainy malt provides a neutral base, while a very light floral ester profile adds complexity without overshadowing the hop character.
Taste.Initial citrus punch of lemon and lime gives way to a firm, integrated bitterness. The flavor is decidedly hop-forward, supported by a minimalist, crackery malt profile. It finishes bone-dry and clean, with a lingering aftertaste of orange zest and a touch of piney resin.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a surprisingly soft, smooth texture for the style. Moderate carbonation enhances the crispness, while the 6.7% ABV provides a very light, well-integrated warmth without any harshness.
