This vibrant American IPA presents a modern, sessionable interpretation of the style, prioritizing a lush, tropical hop profile. Leveraging the distinctive citrus-forward character of Citra and the bright, lime-flecked notes of Motueka, the beer radiates intense aromas of mango, passionfruit, and exotic lychee. Despite its lighter stature at 4.6% ABV, it maintains a juicy presence on the palate, supported by a subtle, clean malt backbone that allows the hop bitterness to remain crisp and refreshing. The finish is dry and hop-centric, delivering a bright, fruit-driven experience that balances sessionability with the bold, aromatic intensity expected of a contemporary New England-influenced ale.
