Wolf IPA is a punchy, hop-forward American IPA that captures a classic Pacific Northwest spirit. It greets the senses with a bold aromatic profile of resinous pine and zesty grapefruit, indicative of traditional American hop varieties. The pour is a clear, deep gold with a persistent white foam. On the palate, the assertive bitterness takes center stage, supported by a lean, cracker-like malt backbone that ensures a crisp, dry finish. Clean fermentation allows the resinous and citrusy hop oils to linger pleasantly, making this a refreshing yet uncompromising example of the style designed for those who appreciate high bitterness and aromatic intensity.
