American IPA 7.1 º

Koala San Brew

Bud Sauce is an assertive American IPA that epitomizes the West Coast style through an intense showcase of Strata hops used in their whole leaf form. The sensory profile is dominated by a pungent, dank herbal quality reminiscent of cannabis, which seamlessly transitions into layers of bright passion fruit, fresh strawberry, and zesty grapefruit. At 7.1% ABV, a clean, grainy malt backbone provides just enough structure to support the high bitterness without obscuring the complex hop oils. The finish is strikingly dry and crisp, leaving a lingering resinous trail and a clean, refreshing bitterness that invites the next sip.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber in color (7-9 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a thick, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Intense hop aroma characterized by a primary 'dank' or resinous herbal note, followed by strong tropical fruit, passion fruit, and a distinct berry-like sweetness. Low, clean, grainy maltiness sits in the background with a very neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. High hop flavor mirroring the aromatic profile with dominant notes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and pine resin. A firm, assertive bitterness defines the palate, supported by a low, clean, slightly bready malt character. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering, hoppy, and clean bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the hop resins. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp bite, accompanied by a very light, smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated.
