American IPA 6.2 º 52.5 IBU

Craftsman

Craftsman IPA is a classic American IPA that showcases a bold, West Coast-inspired character with a distinctive Peruvian flair. It pours a striking amber-reddish hue, the result of a complex five-malt grist that provides a sturdy, toasty backbone. The sensory experience is dominated by an intense dry-hopped profile, leading with vibrant aromas of blackberries and mixed berries alongside a sharp, refreshing citrus zest. On the palate, the hop-forward intensity delivers smooth resinous notes and a firm, clean bitterness that lingers into a crisp, dry finish. This balanced yet assertive ale is designed for refreshing drinkability and culinary versatility.

Appearance. Medium reddish-amber color (approx. 12-14 SRM); clear to slightly hazy with a medium-sized, off-white head showing good persistence and lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of blackberries and mixed berries, layered with sharp citrus zest and a smooth resinous character; low, clean, slightly toasty maltiness supports the hop presentation with a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. High hop flavor echoing the berry and citrus aromatics, evolving into a smooth resinous mid-palate; medium-high bitterness is clean and sharp. A low, grainy maltiness with light caramel and toast notes provides balance, leading to a dry, hoppy, and lingering finish.

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