English IPA 7 º

Half Moon Brewery

Swirly Termination is a robust English IPA that masterfully balances traditional British character with a modern, vibrant twist. At 7% ABV, it offers a deep sensory profile defined by an assertive hop presence that emphasizes zesty citrus-orange and floral spice. A sturdy malt backbone provides essential structural support, contributing notes of toasted biscuit and bready Pale Ale malt to ensure the beer remains balanced despite its heavy hopping. The palate is notably juicy and full, transitioning into a crisp, medium-dry finish where a firm but smooth bitterness lingers pleasantly. A well-integrated alcohol warmth rounds out this aromatic and spirited ale.

Appearance. Deep golden to amber (8–12 SRM); clear to slight haze with moderate-sized, persistent off-white head and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderately high hop intensity featuring floral, spicy-peppery, and distinct citrus-orange notes. Medium-low bready and biscuity malt character with a hint of light toasty caramel and low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression of assertive hop bitterness balanced by orange zest and spicy hop flavors. Malt flavors are medium-low, showcasing bready and biscuit notes with a touch of toffee. Finish is medium-dry to dry with a lingering, clean bitterness that is not harsh.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is medium-high, enhancing the dry finish. A low, smooth alcohol warming is noticeable but well-integrated.
