This American IPA presents an approachable yet assertive sensory profile, driven by a deliberate duo of hops. The inclusion of Cascade contributes classic notes of grapefruit zest and subtle floral undertones, while the Mandarina Bavaria adds a modern layer of sweet tangerine and bright orange citrus. A clean, supporting malt backbone allows these hop characteristics to take center stage without distraction. The fermentation is neutral, typical of the brewery's clean production style, leading into a crisp finish defined by what the brewer describes as a perfect, integrated bitterness. It is a vibrant, citrus-forward ale that balances intensity with drinkability.
