American IPA 7.2 º 40 IBU

Karma

Karma San Diego is a quintessential West Coast IPA that captures the vibrant character of California's hop-forward culture. It pours a brilliant golden yellow, immediately releasing an explosive aromatic bouquet defined by American hops. The sensory experience is lead by bright citrus and succulent exotic fruit notes, underpinned by a distinctive resinous pine. While a clean malt backbone provides structural support, the palate is dominated by hop intensity and a firm, cleansing bitterness. Despite its 7.2% ABV, the beer maintains high drinkability with a crisp, dry finish and a lingering aromatic aftertaste, skillfully integrating its strength into a refreshing, gluten-free profile.

Appearance. Brilliant golden yellow (SRM 6-8). Topped by a medium-sized, persistent white head with fine bubbles and excellent lacing. High clarity.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring sharp grapefruit and orange peel, layered with tropical notes of mango and pineapple. A subtle background of resinous pine provides depth, supported by low, clean, grainy malt sweetness. Very clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial hop-driven impact of citrus and tropical fruit leads to a medium-high, firm bitterness that provides a clean snap. Low, supportive maltiness offers light cracker and grainy flavors without interfering with the hops. Finishes decidedly dry and crisp with a long-lasting, resinous, and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, clean texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that complements the dry finish without being harsh or hot.
