Session IPA 4.5 º 15 IBU

Hopalaa

This Session IPA offers a vibrant sensory journey tailored for warm weather, leaning into the classic trio of Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo hops. The nose is greeted by a high intensity of tropical mango, zest-heavy citrus, and soft floral notes, supported by a restrained, clean malt backbone. Despite its lighter stature, it maintains the character of a classic American IPA with a crisp, dry finish and a firm, refreshing bitterness. The palate mirrors the aroma with layers of grapefruit and stone fruit, ensuring a highly drinkable experience that balances hop-forward intensity with a lean, effervescent structure perfect for summer.

Appearance. Medium gold with brilliant clarity. Topped by a medium-sized, frothy white head with good persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent notes of tropical fruit, passionfruit, and blueberry from the Mosaic, complemented by Citra's grapefruit zest and Amarillo's orange blossom. Malt is low and neutral, providing a clean, grainy backdrop.

Taste. Initial impression is bright and hop-focused. Distinct flavors of mango, tangerine, and peach lead into a medium-high bitterness that remains clean. Low grainy-sweet malt provides necessary support. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering citrusy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively, prickly sensation. Alcohol warmth is negligible.
