American IPA 6 º

Croma Beer Co.

Croma Tropica is a vibrant American IPA that leverages a double dry hop technique to amplify its complex aromatic profile. The interplay of Citra and Cascade hops delivers a powerful punch of classic pink grapefruit and citrus zest, while the inclusion of Talus introduces sophisticated nuances of dried rose petals and tropical stone fruit. This hop-forward expression is underpinned by a clean, grainy malt backbone that ensures a dryish finish. Bold and refreshing, it showcases a modern interpretation of the style with assertive bitterness and a lingering resinous quality that perfectly balances the lush fruit character.

Appearance. Medium gold with a slight haze from the double dry-hopping process. Pours with a persistent, off-white, frothy head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, lime, and tropical mango. Distinctive floral accents of rose and sage emerge alongside a low, clean, grainy malt sweetness. Fermentation is clean with no perceptible esters.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impression with layers of pink grapefruit, citrus peel, and resin. The Talus hops contribute a unique floral complexity. Bitterness is firm and assertive but clean, supported by a light bready malt character. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture and moderate to medium-high carbonation. Alcohol presence provides a very light, smooth warmth that is well-integrated without any harshness or astringency.
