BrewFist Dipop presents as a bright and sessionable American IPA, balancing a lean malt profile with vibrant New World hop character. Despite the approachable 4.5% ABV, it delivers a punchy sensory experience defined by assertive notes of grapefruit zest, resinous pine, and a hint of tropical mango. The backbone is built on clean, grainy malts that provide a crisp foundation without overshadowing the hop-forward profile. This collaboration with Fan Brewing emphasizes drinkability, finishing with a sharp, cleansing bitterness and a dry, lingering floral aftertaste that invites another sip, embodying a lighter but intensely aromatic take on the classic style.
Appearance.Brilliant medium gold (approx. 7 SRM) with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.Moderate-high hop intensity featuring distinct citrus zest, pine needles, and light floral notes. Low, clean grainy-sweet malt aroma supports the hops without any caramel or toast interference.
Taste.Initial hop-forward impression of grapefruit and resin. Medium-high bitterness is prominent but clean. Malt flavor is low and neutral, providing a light cracker-like base. Fermentation is very clean with a dry, bitter, and slightly resinous finish.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation, contributing to a crisp and refreshing texture. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
