American IPA 7 º

Farmacy Brewing

This West Coast IPA celebrates a fleeting seasonal window by infusing freshly harvested spruce tips into a bright, resinous profile. The result is a vibrant sensory experience where woodsy, forest-like aromas merge seamlessly with sharp citrus zest. A sturdy foundation of pale malts provides a clean canvas for the spruce to shine, delivering a punch of fresh pine and grapefruit-like hop character. The bitterness is firm and assertive, characteristic of an American IPA, leading into a crisp, bone-dry finish that accentuates the beer's refreshing, outdoorsy nature. It is a masterful balance of botanical harvest and classic American hopping.

Appearance. Color is a clear, deep gold to light reddish-amber (approx. 8-10 SRM). It features a medium-sized, off-white head with excellent persistence and fine-beaded lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by woodsy spruce tips and resinous pine. Secondary notes of citrus zest, specifically grapefruit and lemon peel, are prominent. The malt profile is low and clean, offering a light grainy sweetness that supports the botanical and hop-derived esters. Fermentation is very clean.

Taste. The initial impression is sharply hoppy and botanical. Flavors of fresh pine and earthy woodsy notes from the spruce tips lead, followed by a bright citrus zest character. Malt flavor is low with a neutral, grainy-sweet quality. Bitterness is firm and high, providing the classic West Coast structure. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering, clean resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high, contributing to a refreshing prickle on the tongue. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no astringency despite the use of spruce.
