American IPA 6.5 º

Brasserie du Bas-Canada

This American IPA is a vibrant showcase of Australian hop character, leading with an explosive sensory profile of passionfruit and pineapple. The deliberate use of Galaxy and Vic Secret hops delivers a saturated tropical essence, while Enigma contributes complex layers of melon and subtle redcurrant. A clean, grainy malt backbone provides just enough structure to support the intense hop saturation without competing for attention. It finishes with a firm, crisp bitterness and a dry, refreshing quality that highlights unique vinous and stone fruit notes. The result is a modern, aromatically-driven ale that balances high hop intensity with a bright, drinkable finish.

Appearance. Medium gold with a slight haze. Topped by a persistent, fluffy white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma characterized by pungent passionfruit, crushed pineapple, and bright citrus. Subtle notes of grapes and melon emerge from the Southern Hemisphere hops. Malt is low and clean, offering a light, grainy sweetness. Fermentation is clean with very low esters.

Taste. Assertive hop-forward flavors mirroring the aroma, with dominant passionfruit, peach, and a resinous pine undertone. Medium-high bitterness is clean and structural. Low, neutral grainy malt provides a subtle platform. The finish is dry to medium-dry, leaving a lingering tropical and slightly berry-like aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
