English IPA 6 º

Funky Fluid

This English IPA presents a modern bridge between tradition and contemporary brewing. The foundation is built on a robust mash of Pale Ale and Maris Otter malts, providing a rich, bready, and slightly biscuity backbone. The sensory profile is elevated by the use of new-wave hops, which introduce vibrant citrus and tropical notes, harmonizing with the pronounced fruity esters produced by the London Fog yeast variety. Expect a firm, lingering bitterness balanced by a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel. It finishes dry and crisp, showcasing a sophisticated interplay of classic British grain and expressive, fruit-forward fermentation character.

Appearance. Deep golden to pale amber in color with a slight haze from the yeast and dry-hopping. Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with good lacing.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring a blend of floral and citrus-orange hop notes alongside modern tropical fruit hints. The malt provides a medium-low bready and biscuity character, while the yeast contributes noticeable fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a firm hop bitterness supported by a medium-low bready and toasted biscuit malt flavor from the Maris Otter. Hop flavors of orange peel and mild tropical fruit lead into a medium-dry finish. Bitterness is assertive but not harsh, lingering pleasantly in the aftertaste with a clean, balanced profile.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp sensation. Alcohol presence is light and well-integrated, offering a subtle, smooth warmth.
