32 Winds is a vibrant Cold IPA that marries the crisp, lean profile of a modern American IPA with a sophisticated hop bouquet. The use of Nelson Sauvin provides distinct notes of white wine grapes and crushed gooseberry, while Cashmere layers in nuances of ripe melon, peach, and a hint of lime zest. At 7% ABV, it presents a brilliant, pale gold appearance with high clarity and a persistent white head. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, allowing the hop-derived tropical and stone fruit flavors to dominate the palate. A firm bitterness leads into a dry, snapping finish, making it remarkably drinkable and refreshing.
