Room 101 is an assertive American IPA crafted in the classic West Coast tradition, delivering a bold and resinous sensory experience. The profile is defined by a punchy hop intensity, leading with sharp grapefruit zest and deep evergreen pine notes that dominate the aromatics. On the palate, a firm and lingering bitterness is balanced by a lean, clean malt backbone featuring subtle hints of toasted grain. This golden-hued ale finishes remarkably dry and crisp, emphasizing a refreshing hop-forward character. Its brilliant clarity and lively carbonation ensure a bright, focused delivery of classic hop oils without any distracting fermentation esters.
Appearance.Medium gold to light amber (approx. 8 SRM). Brilliantly clear with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from hop resins. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite. A very subtle, smooth alcohol warmth is present at the finish.
