Espiga

Espiga Sunshine IPA is a vibrant American IPA that balances assertive hop character with a unique malt depth. The aromatic profile is dominated by Simcoe hops, delivering lush notes of ripe peach and subtle pine, supported by the earthy, herbal undertones of Willamette. A foundation of Pale Ale and Pilsner malts provides a clean base, while the inclusion of Melanoidin malt introduces light caramel accents and a distinct reddish hue. Despite its notable bitterness, the beer maintains a smooth, silky mouthfeel that enhances drinkability. It finishes dry and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of stone fruit and resin.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Bright peach and stone fruit from Simcoe are prominent, complemented by floral and spicy notes from Willamette. A low, clean malt background offers hints of toasted grain and very light caramel.

Taste. Leading with high hop flavors of peach and herbal resin. The bitterness is firm and characteristic of the style but remains clean.
