American IPA 7 º

Finback Brewery

Sit Back is a vibrant American IPA that showcases a modern, tropical-forward profile. The hop trio of Citra, Motueka, and Superdelic drives the experience, delivering an intense aromatic punch of crushed lime, passionfruit, and red berries. A base of clean, grainy malt provides a subtle platform for these New World hops to shine without interference. On the palate, a crisp, refreshing bitterness balances the juicy fruit notes, leading into a dry, clean finish. This beer exemplifies the style's evolution, blending firm structure with the expressive, resinous, and fruity characteristics of its signature hop varieties.

Appearance. Pours a medium gold to pale amber with a light, soft haze. Topped by a persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus zest from Citra and bright lime from Motueka. Superdelic adds layers of ripe tropical fruit, candy-like berry, and a hint of sweet spice. Supporting notes include low, clean, cracker-like malt and a neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. The flavor is hop-centric, echoing the aroma with prominent notes of pink grapefruit, tropical melon, and zesty lime. A medium-high bitterness provides a firm backbone, cutting through the light, grainy malt sweetness. The finish is medium-dry and crisp, with a lingering citrus and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, adding a lively sparkle. A very faint, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its strength.
