Bird Brewery Extra Hop is a vibrant American IPA that amplifies the sensory profile of their flagship through a massive double dry hopping of Mosaic hops. It presents a bright, hop-forward character dominated by lush tropical fruit, blueberry, and stone fruit notes. The clean, grainy malt backbone provides a steady platform for the intense hop layers without adding excessive sweetness. A firm, refreshing bitterness cuts through the aromatic intensity, leading to a crisp and dry finish. This medium-bodied ale balances its 6.5% ABV with high carbonation, resulting in a lively, modern expression of the style that celebrates the complex, multi-faceted nature of Mosaic.
