FrauGruber Brewing

This American IPA from FrauGruber presents a vibrant sensory journey driven by the heavy-hitting combination of HBC 586 and Mosaic BBC. Intense aromas of tropical mango and guava collide with the signature blueberry and resinous pine notes of the Mosaic BBC, all underpinned by a clean, grainy malt base. The palate follows with a rush of lychee and citrus zest, balanced by a firm, persistent bitterness that leads into a crisp, dry finish. With a moderate body and lively carbonation, it exemplifies the modern American IPA, showcasing high hop complexity and a refreshing, hop-forward character designed for drinkability.

Appearance. Pours a brilliant medium gold (8 SRM) with a thick, frothy white head that exhibits excellent persistence and leaves intricate lacing. Clarity is high with only a faint, crystalline shimmer.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of mango, guava, and lychee from the HBC 586, alongside blueberry and a touch of dank pine from the Mosaic BBC. Low, clean, bready malt provides a neutral background. Fermentation is clean with no perceptible esters or diacetyl.

Taste. Leading with a punch of tropical fruit, the flavor mirrors the aroma with layers of mango and citrus. A medium-high bitterness provides a sharp, clean counterpoint to the low grainy-sweet malt. The Mosaic BBC adds a woody, resinous depth to the mid-palate. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering, pleasant bitterness and citrus zest aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the hop oils. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a refreshing prickle on the tongue. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
