American IPA 5 º

Brewing Bears

This American IPA centers on the delicate nuances of the Ahtanum hop, presenting a bright and floral sensory experience. The beer pours a clear, pale gold with a resilient white head. Aromas of grapefruit zest and earthy pine are at the forefront, complemented by a light, bready malt presence. On the palate, Ahtanum provides a sophisticated blend of floral, spicy, and citrus notes, backed by a firm but clean bitterness. The finish is notably dry and crisp, showcasing a clean fermentation profile that allows the hop character to linger without interference. With a medium-light body, it remains highly drinkable while maintaining traditional hop-forward intensity.
