American IPA 6.8 º 52 IBU

Clube do Malte

Underground IPA is a vibrant expression of the classic American IPA, showcasing a complex tapestry of flavors from seven iconic hop varieties. This 6.8% ABV ale leads with a citrus-forward charge, where Amarillo and Citra contribute bright orange and grapefruit zest, while Centennial and Cascade provide delicate floral highlights. Underlying these bright layers, Mosaic introduces subtle tropical fruit and berry nuances, all anchored by the resinous, piney depth of Simcoe and Columbus. The sensory experience is defined by a clean fermentation profile and a light, grainy malt backbone that ensures the aggressive bitterness remains the focal point, culminating in a crisp, refreshingly dry finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to medium amber in color (8-12 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It supports a thick, creamy, and persistent off-white head that leaves intricate lacing as the glass is emptied.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma featuring a pungent blend of grapefruit, lemon peel, and orange zest. Floral notes of rose and geranium are prominent, supported by a distinct resinous and piney character. Malt presence is low and clean, offering a faint bready sweetness with no significant yeast esters.

Taste. A hop-forward initial impression with high bitterness that is firm but not harsh. Flavors of citrus pith and resinous pine dominate, supported by light toasted cracker and grainy malt notes. The mid-palate reveals hints of tropical fruit before transitioning into a dry, lingering aftertaste of hop resins and clean bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the heavy hopping. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp effervescence. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its 6.8% ABV strength.
