IPA Other 6.6 º 66 IBU

Beer Bastards Brewing

This American IPA delivers a bold sensory experience characterized by its complex aromatic profile. The nose is led by a vibrant fusion of zesty citrus and fresh pine, punctuated by a deep red fruit character that adds an unusual layer of sophistication to the hop-forward presentation. Its 6.6% ABV is expertly hidden behind a clean fermentation profile and a supporting malt backbone consisting of pale grains and a hint of light toast. The bitterness is firm and assertive, cutting through the medium body to lead into a crisp, dry finish. Every sip highlights the hop-forward balance typical of the style while maintaining a smooth, drinkable texture.

Appearance. Medium gold to light reddish-amber (8–12 SRM) with a clear clarity and a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of citrus zest, resinous pine, and distinct red berries. Low, clean, grainy-sweet malt supports the hops without competition; fermentation is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impact of grapefruit and pine needles, followed by a secondary red fruit complexity. Medium-high bitterness is balanced by a low, clean maltiness with light toasted notes. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, clean hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp mouthfeel. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but not intrusive.
