This American IPA showcases a vibrant hop profile driven by the interplay of Comet and Krush varieties. A base of Golden Promise and Chit malt provides a light, bready, and slightly toasted foundation that allows the hops to lead with intense aromas of zesty grapefruit, resinous pine, and ripe tropical stone fruit. The palate mirrors the nose, delivering a sharp, clean bitterness characteristic of the style, balanced by a subtle, grainy malt sweetness. Fermented with Pinnacle Heritage American Ale yeast, it maintains a crisp, neutral fermentation profile that emphasizes a dry, refreshing finish and an assertive, lingering hop presence that defines the modern American craft tradition.

Appearance. Medium gold with a slight, inviting haze. Topped by a persistent, fine-textured white head that leaves moderate lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring distinct notes of citrus peel and damp pine from Comet, alongside the tropical and stone fruit nuances of Krush. A low, clean, grainy-sweet malt scent from the Golden Promise provides a subtle background, while the yeast character is exceptionally clean.

Taste. Initial punch of citrus and tropical fruit flavors followed by a firm, resinous bitterness. The malt character is low but present, offering a soft, toasted bread quality. Bitterness is medium-high, leading to a crisp, dry finish. Aftertaste is hoppy and clean, with a lingering resinous quality.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture enhanced by the inclusion of Chit malt. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue without any astringency or harsh alcohol warmth.
