Session IPA 4.2 º 42 IBU

KYKAO - Handcrafted

This Session IPA presents a vibrant, hop-forward profile, bridging the gap between drinkability and intensity. A pungent blend of Citra, Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe, and Columbus hops delivers a powerful aromatic punch of grapefruit zest, resinous pine, and tropical mango. Light caramel European malts provide a delicate, sweet foundation that balances the assertive bitterness without weighing down the palate. The finish is crisp and dry, emphasizing the classic American hop character. Despite its low alcohol content, the beer offers a full-flavored experience, making it an ideal choice for extended sessions where hop complexity remains the focus.

Appearance. Medium gold to light amber (6-9 SRM). Persistent off-white head with excellent lacing. Generally clear with a very slight haze from heavy dry-hopping.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent citrus, pine, and tropical fruit notes. Low, clean, grainy maltiness with a subtle hint of caramel sweetness. Clean fermentation profile with minimal yeast esters.

Taste. Immediate hop-forward impression of grapefruit, resin, and stone fruit. Low to medium-low malt support with light toast and caramel flavors. Medium-high hop bitterness that is firm but clean. Finish is dry with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Moderate to high carbonation. No alcohol warmth, consistent with its session strength.
