This crisp American IPA delivers a chillingly intense hop profile driven by a trio of modern varieties. The sensory journey is dominated by the tropical and stone fruit depth of HBC586, layered with the complex berry and pine notes characteristic of Mosaic. Riwaka adds a distinctive punch of passion fruit and citrus, creating a vibrant, multi-dimensional bouquet. A lean, pale malt base allows the hop-derived fruitiness and firm bitterness to remain the focal point. Finishes remarkably clean and dry, embodying a modern, refreshing approach to the style that emphasizes hop saturation without heavy malt interference.
Appearance.Pours a brilliant medium gold (7 SRM) with excellent clarity. A dense, white, long-lasting head leaves intricate lacing as it recedes.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring prominent tropical fruit, passion fruit, and citrus. Subtle notes of pine and mixed berries emerge alongside a very low, clean, grainy malt background. Fermentation profile is neutral and clean.
Taste.Leading with intense flavors of tropical stone fruit and citrus zest. A high hop bitterness is present but remains crisp and clean, supported by a low, grainy-sweet malt presence. The finish is quite dry with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste of grapefruit and resin.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a refreshing bite. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated.
