Fuerst Wiacek

This Cold IPA collaboration between Cloudwater and Fuerst Wiacek offers a crisp, ultra-clean interpretation of the American IPA style. By utilizing lager yeast and cold fermentation temperatures, the brewers have suppressed esters to create a neutral canvas that highlights a punchy hop profile. Intense aromas of grapefruit zest and resinous pine lead the sensory experience, followed by a palate defined by sharp citrus and deep forest notes. The lean malt backbone ensures a refreshing, cracker-like quality, allowing the assertive bitterness to shine through a bone-dry finish. It is a precise, hop-forward beer that balances modern intensity with classic drinkability.

Appearance. Medium gold with a slight, luminous haze. It supports a medium-sized, persistent white head with good lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, lemon peel, and crushed pine needles. Low, clean, grainy maltiness supports the hops, while the cold fermentation results in a neutral profile devoid of ale esters.

Taste. Leading with bold citrus and grapefruit flavors, the palate transitions into a firm, resinous pine bitterness. A low, clean, grainy malt flavor provides support without sweetness. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a refreshing bite, accompanied by a subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
