American IPA 6.5 º

Capitán Lúpulo

Back To the Hop 3 delivers a nostalgic journey into the heart of classic California-style American IPA. This expression is defined by its pungent hop intensity, leading with a bright, citrus-forward profile of grapefruit and zest. In keeping with its West Coast roots, the beer presents an accentuated, firm bitterness that provides a sharp, clean counterpoint to a lean, supporting malt backbone of crackery grains. The finish is remarkably dry, ensuring the resinous and citrus hop oils linger long after the sip. It is a focused, high-impact sensory experience that prioritizes hop clarity and a crisp, refreshing bite.

Appearance. Medium gold with brilliant clarity. Pours with a medium-sized, off-white head that exhibits good persistence and leaves fine lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, and a subtle resinous pine. A low, clean, grainy-sweet malt character supports the hop-forward profile, while the fermentation remains clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Intense citrus hop flavors dominated by grapefruit and citrus peel. The bitterness is high and sharp, cutting through a low, toasted grain malt presence. The balance is decidedly hop-forward, leading into a crisp, very dry finish with a lingering, bitter aftertaste and clean fermentation character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high, enhancing the dry finish. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
