Birra Mastino

This American IPA presents a vibrant, citrus-led sensory profile that belies its accessible strength. The experience begins with a high-intensity aromatic burst of sweet orange and mandarin, evolving into a sharp, refreshing pink grapefruit finish. A light, clean malt presence provides a foundational graininess that supports the hops without competing for attention. The bitterness is firm yet expertly polished, ensuring the intense hop character remains smooth and inviting throughout the sip. With its dry finish and bright fruit notes, it offers a refined and refreshing interpretation of the style that prioritizes aromatic complexity and high drinkability.

Appearance. Color is medium gold (approximately 6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It features a medium-sized, white head with good persistence and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by fresh citrus notes of orange and mandarin, followed by a distinct pink grapefruit character. A low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness supports the hops. The fermentation profile is clean and neutral.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with juicy orange and citrus zest flavors. A low, crackery malt presence provides a supportive but lean backbone. The bitterness is medium-high and clean, never reaching an aggressive level. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering aftertaste of citrus peel.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture and moderate to high carbonation. There is no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency, resulting in a very clean and refreshing mouthfeel.
