American IPA 6 º

Deer Bear

Deer Bear Sakura presents an intriguing fusion of classic American IPA brightness and the delicate, vegetal elegance of Sencha tea. The visual is a brilliant medium gold, topped by a persistent white foam. On the nose, vibrant citrus and floral hop notes intertwine seamlessly with the grassy, slightly oceanic perfume of the Sencha. The palate follows suit, where the tea’s natural tannins provide a sophisticated structure to the assertive bitterness. A clean, grainy malt backbone supports waves of grapefruit and herbal tea flavors, leading to a crisp, dry finish that lingers with a refreshing, botanical complexity.

Appearance. Color is medium gold (7 SRM) with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves decorative lacing; clarity is clear with a very slight, chill-induced haze.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring grapefruit, orange peel, and floral notes, complemented by a distinctive grassy and herbal Sencha tea character; low grainy-sweet malt supports a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impression of citrus and pine followed by a prominent, grassy Sencha tea flavor; medium-high bitterness is crisp and clean, supported by a low, grainy malt presence. The finish is dry with a lingering herbal and citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture; medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present, alongside a subtle tea-derived tannin astringency.
