Elusive Brewing Labyrinth
Black IPA 4 º
Labyrinth is a masterfully sessionable Black Pale Ale that defies its dark appearance with the vibrant, hop-forward profile of a classic American IPA. Intense aromatics of Citra and Mosaic hops dominate the foreground, delivering punchy layers of tropical mango, ripe blueberry, and zesty grapefruit. Beneath the hop radiance, a restrained foundation of debittered roast malts provides subtle hints of light chocolate and toasted bread without any harsh, burnt astringency. This Specialty IPA maintains a remarkably light, approachable body and a clean, dry finish, ensuring the bright citrus and berry notes remain the primary focus against a backdrop of deep ebony.
Appearance. Deep ebony to black (35-40 SRM) with a creamy, persistent light tan head that leaves fine lacing. The beer is clear with mahogany highlights visible at the edges of the glass.
Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring distinct Citra-driven notes of grapefruit and lime alongside the berry and tropical melon character of Mosaic. The malt aroma is low, providing a supportive backdrop of light cocoa and toasted bread. Fermentation is clean with no perceptible esters.
Taste. Bright, hop-led entry with flavors of mango, citrus peel, and a touch of pine. Bitterness is moderate and firm, balanced by a lean, bready malt profile with subtle chocolate accents. The roasted character is exceptionally smooth and free of ash or char. It finishes dry and clean with a lingering hop resin and light toast aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate. No alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the session-strength ABV. Crisp and highly drinkable with no perceptible astringency.
