CoolHead Brew

This American IPA serves as a sensory bridge, combining a sturdy West Coast foundation with a modern East Coast aromatic focus. The presence of Centennial and Simcoe hops delivers classic notes of resinous pine and grapefruit, while Mosaic contributes vibrant layers of tropical fruit and stone fruit. Fermentation with Lallemand East Coast yeast adds a subtle ester profile that rounds out the hop intensity. The malt base of Pale and Cara malts provides a clean, grainy backbone with a hint of caramel, balancing the firm bitterness. It finishes dry and crisp, showcasing a refined hop-forward complexity with a lingering, resinous aftertaste.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (approx. 8–10 SRM). Clear with a very slight, luminous haze from dry-hopping. Features a medium-sized, off-white head with good persistence and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma featuring a complex blend of resinous pine, grapefruit, and cedar from Simcoe and Centennial, complemented by tropical mango and berry notes from Mosaic. Low, clean, grainy maltiness with a faint hint of caramel. Light fruity esters of peach and apricot are present from the yeast.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of citrus zest, tropical pineapple, and earthy pine. A low to medium-low malt presence provides supportive notes of toasted bread and light honeyed sweetness. Bitterness is firm and clean, balanced by a dry to medium-dry finish that allows the hop character to linger without being harsh.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel. Very light, smooth alcohol warmth is well-integrated and appropriate for the strength.
