This refreshing American IPA radiates a bright citrus profile led by a distinctive trio of hops. The use of Mandarina Bavaria delivers vibrant tangerine and orange notes, while Sorachi Ace adds a sharp, lemongrass-like edge. Minstrel hops complement these with a subtle spiced berry and floral undertone. Built on a clean foundation of Pale malt, the beer emphasizes its hop-forward nature through extensive dry-hopping. The sensory experience is defined by its crispness and approachable bitterness, making for a highly drinkable, aromatically intense ale that prioritizes fresh citrus zest over heavy malt presence or alcoholic warmth.
Appearance.Light yellow to pale gold (6 SRM). Brilliant clarity. Features a medium-sized, persistent white head with fine bubbles and delicate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma characterized by fresh tangerine, orange peel, and lemongrass. Low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness provides a neutral backdrop. Fermentation is clean with no significant yeast esters or diacetyl.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of citrus fruit—tangerine and lemon—followed by a medium-high bitterness that is firm but clean. Low, grainy malt flavor supports the hops without adding sweetness. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste of citrus zest.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, refreshing texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a lively prickle on the tongue. No astringency or noticeable alcohol warmth.
