This West Coast-style American IPA showcases a lean, attenuative profile designed to spotlight its vibrant hop trio. Citra and Mosaic deliver a punchy foundation of grapefruit peel, blueberry, and ripe mango, while Idaho 7 introduces complex layers of resinous pine and black tea. The mouthfeel is crisp and purposefully dry, ensuring the assertive bitterness remains sharp and refreshing rather than heavy. With a clean fermentation profile and a restrained malt backbone, the focus remains entirely on the aromatic intensity and the lingering, resinous finish characteristic of the style. It is a quintessential interpretation of the drier, hop-forward sub-style.
Appearance.Brilliant medium gold (approx. 7 SRM) with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of tangerine, tropical passion fruit, and a distinct resinous pine. A low, neutral, crackery maltiness provides a clean background, allowing the citrus and tropical fruitiness to dominate.
Taste.Leading with a sharp, clean bitterness, the flavor follows the aroma with layers of citrus zest and earthy pine. The malt is minimally sweet, presenting as light toasted bread, leading into a bone-dry, decidedly bitter, and refreshing finish with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crisp, drying sensation. Carbonation is moderate-high, enhancing the brightness of the hops. Very smooth with no perceptible astringency or harshness.
