Bearded Iris Brewing Mood Ring: Strawberries
American IPA 7 º
Bearded Iris Brewing’s Mood Ring: Strawberries is a vibrant American IPA that artfully balances high-intensity fruit additions with classic hop character. The aroma is dominated by a lush, ripe strawberry presence that intermingles with citrus and berry notes typical of New World hops. Despite the concentrated fruit focus, the profile maintains its identity as a moderately strong ale with a clean, supportive malt backbone. On the palate, the succulence of the fruit is countered by a firm, hop-forward bitterness, leading to a dryish, refreshing finish. This groovy fruit power delivers a bright, aromatic punch while staying grounded in the crisp, bitter tradition of the style.
Appearance. Medium gold with a subtle, shimmering reddish-pink tint. Pours with a medium-sized, off-white head that shows good persistence and leaves light lacing. Clarity is mostly clear with just a slight, fruit-induced haze.
Aroma. High intensity strawberry fragrance dominates the nose. Supporting this is a moderate hop character featuring notes of citrus and berries. Malt is low and clean, providing a light, grainy background without interfering with the fruit and hop aromatics.
Taste. Immediate ripe strawberry flavor provides a fruity initial impression. The mid-palate transitions into a medium-high bitterness with supporting hop flavors of grapefruit zest. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering fruit and hop-bitter aftertaste and very low malt toastiness.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, rounded texture. Carbonation is medium-high, creating a crisp and lively sensation. Features a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any harshness or astringency.
