Eterna IPA presents a refined sensory bridge between British tradition and the bold profile of an American IPA. This 6% ABV ale displays a striking amber hue with copper reflections beneath a creamy, long-lasting head. The aromatic profile is defined by moderate intensity notes of citrus and delicate floral blossoms, underscored by a distinctive freshly cut grass and vegetal character. On the palate, an assertive hop bitterness takes center stage, complemented by a light caramel and toasted malt sweetness that provides structural balance. A subtle astringency and a clean fermentation profile lead into a lingering, hop-forward finish.
