This quintessential American IPA showcases a vibrant intersection of high-desert brewing tradition and modern hop intensity. Built upon a light copper foundation of pale, caramel, and wheat malts, it offers a sturdy, medium-bodied backbone that balances the aggressive hop profile. The sensory experience is dominated by the multi-hop blend of El Dorado, Mosaic, and Simcoe, which deliver an aromatic explosion of ripe tropical fruit and zesty citrus. Layers of mango, pineapple, and grapefruit lead into a firm bitterness, finishing clean and dry. It is a bold, hop-forward tribute to New Mexico’s influential craft landscape.
Appearance.Light copper to medium amber (SRM 9–12). Clear with a persistent, medium-sized off-white head that provides excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of mango and pineapple from El Dorado, coupled with blueberry and citrus notes from Mosaic. Simcoe adds a backing layer of resinous pine and passionfruit. A low, clean maltiness with subtle hints of sweet caramel and grainy wheat supports the hop-forward profile.
Taste.Immediate impact of tropical fruit and bright citrus. The hop flavor is intense, reflecting the El Dorado, Mosaic, and Simcoe blend. A firm, medium-high bitterness is balanced by a medium-low malt presence featuring light toasty and caramel flavors. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering hoppy and resinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth texture enhanced by the wheat addition. Carbonation is medium-high, lending a crisp, refreshing quality. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
