This American IPA presents a vibrant tapestry of Pacific Northwest and modern hop varieties. The sensory experience begins with a bold citrus and tropical perfume of Citra and Mosaic, layered with the resinous pine of Simcoe and bright grapefruit notes from Cascade. Denali hops add a unique pineapple and herbal complexity. Beneath the aggressive hopping, the rich, bready foundation of Maris Otter provides a sturdy backbone, while a touch of Cara Malt lends subtle toffee sweetness. It balances a firm, clean bitterness with a dry, refreshing finish, showcasing a masterfully integrated hop profile against a premium malt base.
