This American IPA offers a vibrant interplay of classic hops, leaning into a crisp and refreshing profile. The aroma is dominated by the citrus-forward character of Amarillo, providing bright bursts of orange zest and floral notes, while Simcoe introduces a grounding layer of pine resin and subtle passionfruit. On the palate, the hop-forward balance is underscored by a clean, grainy malt backbone that allows the bitterness to remain firm yet approachable. A dry finish ensures high drinkability, leaving a lingering trail of grapefruit peel and forest floor, characteristic of this well-attenuated, modern iteration where the hop character is the primary focus.
