American IPA 6.8 º

ISM Brewing

This West Coast-style American IPA showcases a vibrant interplay between Citra and Nelson Sauvin hops. The aromatic profile is led by the distinctive white wine, crushed gooseberry, and tropical kiwi notes of the Nelson Sauvin, supported by Citra’s bright grapefruit and lime zest. A lean, grainy malt base provides a clean canvas, allowing the hop complexity to take center stage without interference. The palate delivers a firm, resinous bitterness that transitions into a crisp, dry finish characteristic of the style. Playful and refreshing, it balances intense fruit-forward hop saturation with the classic, snap-dry structural integrity of a modern West Coast libation.

Appearance. Medium gold to light amber (6–9 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant hop-derived notes of white grape, gooseberry, and tropical kiwi from Nelson Sauvin, complemented by Citra's citrus punch of grapefruit and tangerine. Low, clean, bready malt background. Fermentation is very clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial punch of citrus and tropical fruit. Hop flavors echo the aroma with prominent white wine, passionfruit, and lime. Medium-high hop bitterness provides a sharp, clean bite. Low, grainy malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by the hops. Finishes bone-dry with a lingering resinous and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a refreshing prickle. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 6.8% ABV. No astringency.
