American IPA 6.7 º 65 IBU

La Nébuleuse

Embuscade is a vibrant American IPA that strikes a balance between bold hop intensity and a refined grain bill. Brewed with a portion of wheat malt, it offers a soft, supportive foundation for a continuous hop addition that explodes with sensory layers. The nose and palate are dominated by bright citrus, sticky pine resin, and a lush bouquet of exotic fruits. At 6.7% ABV, it carries a clean, moderate strength that enhances the assertive bitterness without becoming heavy. This is a classic, hop-forward experience with a crisp, dry finish, designed to cut through rich meals while showcasing modern hop complexity.

Appearance. Medium gold to light copper (8-10 SRM). Features a medium-sized, off-white head with good persistence and light lacing. Generally clear, though the wheat malt may contribute a very slight, attractive haze.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, orange peel, and sticky pine resin, complemented by exotic tropical fruit esters. A low, clean, grainy maltiness with a subtle hint of wheat breadiness provides a neutral backdrop. Fermentation is clean with no significant esters or phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of hop-driven citrus and tropical fruit. Medium-high bitterness is firm but clean, supported by a low grainy malt flavor and the smooth, subtle sweetness of wheat. The mid-palate reveals deeper resinous notes. Finishes dry to medium-dry with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste and a clean, crisp bitterness that invites another sip.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture from the wheat addition. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no harshness or astringency.
