This American IPA presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by the interplay of Citra and Idaho 7 hops. The aroma is high in intensity, leading with bright grapefruit and zesty lime, complemented by deeper notes of mango and apricot. On the palate, the Idaho 7 provides a lush tropical and stone fruit foundation, while Citra adds a crisp citrus punch. A moderate bitterness balances the clean, grainy malt backbone, leading to a decidedly dry and refreshing finish. The overall character is hop-forward and bright, emphasizing fresh fruit resins over a subtle, toasted malt support characteristic of the style.
