Session IPA 4.4 º

Gloucester Brewery

Gloucester Brewery 1873 presents as a vibrant, session-strength take on the American IPA. Despite its approachable 4.4% ABV, it delivers a punchy sensory experience defined by prominent New World hop character. Bright aromas of succulent peach and tropical passionfruit lead the way, supported by a subtle, clean, grainy malt backbone. On the palate, the stone fruit and tropical notes are underscored by a firm, refreshing bitterness that drives toward a crisp, dry finish. This pale gold ale balances modern hop aromatics with high drinkability, showcasing a bright, fruit-forward profile that remains decidedly hop-focused and clean throughout.

Appearance. Medium gold to light reddish-amber; clear with a medium-sized, white head that shows good persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent peach and passionfruit characteristics. Low clean, grainy maltiness supports the tropical fruit presentation. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with medium-high hop flavor of peach and passionfruit. Low grainy maltiness provides a subtle background. Medium-high bitterness leads to a dry, clean finish and a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite. No harshness or noticeable alcohol warmth.
