American IPA 6.4 º

Funky Fluid

This West Coast IPA offers a classic and assertive sensory experience, emphasizing a bold American hop profile. The aromatics lead with intense notes of resinous pine and bright citrus zest, underpinned by a clean, lean malt backbone. With its 6.4% ABV, the beer provides a subtle, well-integrated warmth that enhances the crisp, dry finish characteristic of the style. The bitterness is firm and snappy, designed to cleanse the palate while leaving a lingering trail of grapefruit and floral hop oils. This American IPA prioritizes clarity and a refreshing, hop-forward balance that defines the modern West Coast tradition.

Appearance. Deep gold color (approx. 7 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, long-lasting white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of pine resin, grapefruit, and subtle floral undertones. Low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a neutral background. Fermentation is clean with no detectable esters.

Taste. Leading with high hop flavor consisting of citrus peel and resinous pine. Low, cracker-like malt flavor supports a medium-high to high bitterness. The balance is decidedly hop-forward, finishing very dry and crisp with a clean, bitter aftertaste that persists without being harsh.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a lively mouthfeel. Very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-hidden.
