La Pirata Primavera is a vibrant Session IPA designed for warm-weather drinkability. Despite its low 3.5% ABV, it delivers a punchy hop profile driven by a blend of Simcoe, Mosaic, Citra, and Ekuanot. This combination offers an explosive sensory array of citrus zest from the Citra, tropical mango from the Mosaic, and resinous pine needles from the Simcoe, all supported by the fruity and herbal nuances of Ekuanot. Over a lean, crackery malt base, this beer is crisp and exceptionally refreshing, balancing high hop intensity with a light, effortless body. The finish is dry and clean, showcasing American hop complexity without the weight of a standard American IPA.
