American IPA 6 º

Elder Pine Brewing & Blending

This American IPA, crafted for the Christmas Burns Red festival, delivers a vibrant and modern sensory experience. The combination of Meridian and Mosaic hops produces a sophisticated bouquet of mixed berries, tropical mango, and bright citrus zest. A clean, pale malt backbone ensures that the hop-derived characteristics—specifically the blueberry and stone fruit notes associated with Mosaic—remain the focal point. The palate is defined by an assertive bitterness that balances a hint of bready sweetness, leading into a crisp, dry finish. It exemplifies a clean fermentation profile that allows the nuanced, resinous, and fruity hop oils to shine with high intensity.

Appearance. Medium gold to light amber (7-9 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a medium-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent notes of blueberry, tropical passionfruit, and citrus peel. A low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness supports the hops. Clean fermentation with very light fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward, showcasing citrus and mixed berry flavors. Medium-high bitterness is well-supported by a low, crackery malt profile. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering hoppy aftertaste of pine and fruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation creates a lively mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated.
