American IPA 6.6 º 69 IBU

BrauSchneider

This American IPA showcases a classic hop-forward profile, prominently featuring the iconic citrus and floral notes of Cascade and Centennial hops. The sensory experience is led by grapefruit zest and resinous pine, supported by a sturdy foundation of Pale Ale Malz. A restrained addition of Caramalz introduces a light honey-like sweetness and subtle toasty depth, balancing the assertive bitterness. With its 6.6% ABV, the beer offers a smooth, integrated warmth that carries the hop oils through a crisp, dry finish. It represents a clean, well-attenuated example of the style, where the malt provides a clear stage for the Northwest hop character to shine.

Appearance. Medium gold to light reddish-amber (8-12 SRM). Clear with a medium-sized, off-white head showing good persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. High hop aroma intensity with dominant notes of grapefruit, citrus peel, and floral blossoms, backed by a resinous pine character. Low, clean, bready maltiness with a subtle hint of caramel sweetness. Fermentation is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. High hop flavor echoing the citrus and pine aromatics. Low to medium-low grainy malt profile with light toasted and caramel accents. Medium-high bitterness that is firm but smooth. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, hoppy, and pleasantly bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present on the swallow.
