This American IPA presents a vibrant tapestry of modern hop character. The combination of Columbus, Pacifica, Citra, and Eclipse hops delivers an intense bouquet of grapefruit, mandarin orange, and resinous pine. Built on a foundation of Heidelberg and Chit malt, the beer offers a crisp, lean profile that prioritizes drinkability while providing a stable, frothy head. The fermentation is exceptionally clean thanks to the WLP001 yeast, allowing the tropical and citrus nuances to dominate. A firm bitterness provides a sharp, refreshing edge, leading into a dry, lingering finish that highlights complex citrus peel and dank herbal notes.
