Funky Fluid

Simple IPA by Funky Fluid is a modern American IPA that masterfully balances a robust 6.7% ABV with a diverse hop bill. The classic duo of Citra and Mosaic delivers a high-intensity aroma of mango, tropical fruit, and citrus, while Chinook adds a layer of resinous pine and grapefruit. Unique contributions from Monroe bring hints of red berries, while Iunga ensures a clean, structural bitterness. A low, grainy malt backbone supports the hop-forward character, leading to a crisp, dry finish. This beer exemplifies the style's assertive hop-forward balance while maintaining a clean, approachable profile.

Appearance. Medium gold with bright clarity; a dense, persistent off-white head leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus and tropical fruit (mango, passionfruit). Secondary notes of resinous pine and a unique light berry character are supported by a low, clean, crackery malt sweetness. No diacetyl; clean fermentation.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and citrus fruit followed by a firm, clean bitterness. Low grainy malt sweetness provides a brief platform for flavors of grapefruit zest and forest floor. The finish is dry and hoppy with a lingering, pleasant bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is medium-high, lending a crispness to the palate. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
