American IPA 6.5 º

City-State Brewing

This American IPA presents a contemporary interpretation of the West Coast style, emphasizing clarity and a lean profile. The sensory experience is defined by bright, refreshing melon notes—reminiscent of honeydew and cantaloupe—that dominate the hop profile without the heavy resin often found in more traditional examples. A minimal malt backbone allows the modern hop character to shine through with exceptional focus, providing just enough grainy support to balance a firm, yet notably smooth, bitterness. With its clean fermentation and dry finish, this beer offers a highly approachable, crisp character that satisfies the palate while remaining incredibly drinkable and light on its feet.

Appearance. Medium gold (7 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, white, persistent head that leaves fine lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent bright melon, honeydew, and subtle tropical undertones. Minimal clean, grainy maltiness with a neutral fermentation profile and no significant esters.

Taste. Assertive melon hop flavor from the start, transitioning into a high but clean bitterness. Low malt presence provides a lean, crackery base that stays out of the way of the hops. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering, hoppy, and bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Moderate to high carbonation and a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
