American IPA 7 º

Brewery X

This West Coast-style American IPA delivers an assertive sensory experience defined by a potent hop blend. Aromatic layers of pungent pine from Simcoe and vibrant lime zest from Motueka lead the charge, followed by the tropical mango and grapefruit notes of Citra. Ekuanot adds a nuanced layer of herbal complexity and berry-like fruitiness. The palate follows the nose with high hop intensity, supported by a lean, grainy malt presence that allows the sharp, clean bitterness to shine. It finishes crisp and dry, leaving a lingering resinous trail characteristic of expertly handled cryo hops.

Appearance. Color is deep gold (7-9 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a medium-sized, off-white head that shows good persistence and leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of resinous pine, zesty lime, and tropical passionfruit. A low, clean, grainy-sweet malt character supports the hops. Fermentation profile is clean, allowing the hop oils to remain the primary focus.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward and intensely bitter. Flavors of grapefruit, citrus peel, and pine needles dominate. The malt flavor is low, providing just enough grainy character to balance the high bitterness. Finishes very dry and clean with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high, enhancing the dry finish. There is a light, smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated and never harsh.
