This elegant Brut IPA presents a sophisticated fusion of vinous grace and hop-forward aromatics. Brewed with Chardonnay grapes from Abruzzo, it delivers a remarkably dry profile reminiscent of fine sparkling wine. The inclusion of corn flakes and rice ensures a lean, crisp backbone, allowing the fruity hop esters and white wine notes to take center stage. Effervescent and bright, it offers a subtle bitterness that cleanses the palate, making it a perfect aperitif. Bottle refermentation adds a delicate complexity and a lively, spritzy character, culminating in a bone-dry finish that highlights its unique Italian grape influence.
Appearance.Pale straw to light gold (3-5 SRM). Brilliant clarity when poured carefully, though bottle refermentation introduces a slight haze if the sediment is disturbed. Large, frothy white head with excellent persistence and fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics featuring distinct vinous notes of white grape, pear, and melon from the Chardonnay juice. Moderate hop character suggests white peach and subtle citrus. Clean fermentation profile with very low malt presence; no caramel or toasted notes are perceived.
Taste.Initial impression is exceptionally dry and crisp. Flourishes of white wine, green apple, and tropical fruit dominate the palate. Low to moderate hop bitterness provides a clean structure without lingering harshness. The grain bill of rice and corn flakes creates a neutral, crackery malt base. Finishes bone-dry and refreshing with a clean aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Very light body with a lean, nimble texture. High carbonation provides a prickly, champagne-like effervescence. Subtle alcohol warmth is well-integrated. Zero astringency and a lack of residual sugars contribute to a highly drinkable, mouth-watering sensation.
