Session IPA 2 º 25 IBU

La Pirata Brewing
Cervecera Península

This collaborative Micro IPA delivers a sensory punch that belies its lean stature. Dominated by a vibrant hop trifecta, the profile bursts with the tropical and berry nuances of Enigma, layered over the signature grapefruit and lime zest of Citra. Loral hops add a sophisticated floral and herbal dimension, providing a noble-like elegance to the intense hop load. Despite the low alcohol content, the palate remains focused, supported by a clean, cracker-like malt backbone that allows the firm bitterness of an American IPA to shine. The finish is remarkably crisp and dry, leaving a lingering trail of citrus peel and delicate wildflower.

Appearance. Pours a brilliant, pale gold (approx. 4-6 SRM) with a dense, frothy white head that exhibits excellent persistence and leaves intricate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring distinct notes of passionfruit, red currant, and zesty lemon from the Enigma and Citra additions. A subtle, peppery, and floral undertone from Loral provides complexity. Malt presence is low, offering a clean, grainy, cracker-like scent. Clean fermentation with negligible esters.

Taste. The initial impression is a wash of tropical fruit and citrus oils. High hop flavor mirrors the aroma with layers of melon, berry, and lemon pith. Bitterness is firm and assertive, balanced by a very light, bready malt foundation. The finish is extremely dry and clean, with a moderate, lingering bitterness that invites another sip.

Mouthfeel. Light body—leaning toward medium-light—with a crisp, lively carbonation that enhances the perceived bitterness. No alcohol warmth is present given the very low ABV. Remarkably smooth and devoid of any astringency.
