Effet Papillon

This organic SMASH IPA showcases the elegant synergy between Vienna malt and the distinctively French Barbe Rouge hops. A vibrant sensory profile emerges, defined by an alluring bouquet of ripe strawberries and raspberries coupled with delicate floral undertones. The Vienna malt provides a sturdy, toasty, and slightly biscuity foundation that supports a firm bitterness without overshadowing the hop’s unique berry character. Crisp and refreshing at 5.5% ABV, it finishes dry with a lingering red fruit essence, offering a modern, terroir-driven take on the classic American IPA style.

Appearance. Medium gold to light reddish-amber (8–10 SRM). Clear with a medium-sized, persistent off-white head leaving fine lacing.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent red berry notes of strawberry and raspberry, accompanied by light floral accents. Low to medium-low toasted, grainy malt aroma. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impression with flavors of red currants and berries. Medium-high bitterness provides a crisp structure. The malt base adds a clean, toasted bread flavor that balances the hop intensity. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering hoppy and berry-like aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. No alcoholic warmth or harsh astringency.
