This American IPA is a focused showcase for the Citra hop, delivering an intense and vibrant sensory experience. It opens with an explosive bouquet of pink grapefruit, zesty lime, and ripe mango, supported by a subtle, clean grainy malt presence. The palate is decidedly hop-forward, where the punchy citrus and tropical notes of Citra meet a firm, crisp bitterness that lingers into a bone-dry finish. Effervescent and refreshing, its medium-light body and clean fermentation profile allow the multifaceted citrus layers to remain the primary focus, embodying a classic, bright single-hop presentation.
