American IPA 5.8 º

Cloudwater Brew Co

Aglow presents as a vibrant American IPA, capturing the classic West Coast spirit with a contemporary hop selection. The sensory experience is led by a powerful interplay of Columbus and Strata hops, delivering a punchy aroma of resinous pine and deep, citrusy grapefruit. Underpinned by a crisp, lean malt profile, the palate explores layers of tropical fruit and a persistent, dank earthiness. It finishes with a firm, clean bitterness that highlights the resinous quality of the hops. This medium-bodied ale balances its bold hop intensity with a refreshing, dry finish, making it a bright yet impactful interpretation of the style.

Appearance. Medium gold to light amber color (6-8 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, persistent white head and decorative lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by resinous pine, dank herbal pungency, and sharp grapefruit zest. Subtle tropical fruit notes like passionfruit are present. Low, clean, grainy malt sweetness supports the hops. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression is assertive hop bitterness followed by high hop flavors of grapefruit, tropical fruit, and spicy pine. Medium-high bitterness is firm but clean. Malt flavor is low, providing a light, grainy, toasted support. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering resinous and citrusy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Medium-high carbonation. Very light, smooth alcohol warmth. No harshness or astringency.
