Layers is a refined expression of the American IPA style, showcasing the multifaceted Strata hop variety. The sensory experience is defined by a vibrant interplay of tropical passion fruit, fresh strawberry, and bright citrus, anchored by a subtle, dank herbal complexity characteristic of the hop. A clean, supporting malt profile allows these hop layers to remain the focus, while Fox Farm’s hallmark fermentation precision ensures a crisp, balanced presentation. The finish is decidedly dry and refreshing, with a firm yet integrated bitterness that invites the next sip. It captures the modern hop-forward aesthetic with classic structure and elegance.
Appearance.Deep gold with brilliant clarity; topped by a thick, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent passion fruit, sweet citrus, and a distinct strawberry note from the Strata hops, underpinned by a light, resinous dankness. Low, clean grainy-sweet malt provides a subtle foundation.
Taste.Hop-forward flavors of tropical fruit and melon mirror the aroma, supported by a medium-high bitterness. The malt character is low and crackery, leading into a dry, clean finish with a lingering hoppy aftertaste devoid of harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated.
