REORG is a vibrant West Coast-style American IPA that masterfully balances classic resinous depth with modern aromatic flair. A foundation of Columbus and Centennial hops delivers a firm, layered piney bitterness that defines the style's assertive structure. This bitterness is complemented by a potent dry-hop addition of Strata, introducing a complex layer of tropical fruit and distinctive dankness. Expect a clean, pale malt backbone that stays out of the way, allowing the interplay of old-school woodsy notes and contemporary fruit character to shine against a crisp, dry finish that emphasizes its hoppy intent.
Appearance.Color is medium gold (7 SRM). It exhibits a clear to slightly hazy presentation with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of resinous pine and citrus from the Columbus and Centennial additions. The Strata dry-hopping contributes a distinct tropical fruit character alongside a signature dank, herbal quality. Low, clean grainy-sweet maltiness remains in the background.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply hoppy with a medium-high, layered bitterness. Flavors of pine, grapefruit peel, and resin transition into tropical notes of passion fruit and strawberry. The malt provides a low, clean, toasted grain support without caramel sweetness. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering, clean hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from hop oils. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp bite. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
