American IPA 5.9 º 50 IBU

La Plaga

La Plaga Laika Virgin is a bright and expressive American IPA that captures the essence of classic New World hopping. It presents a radiant golden appearance topped with a persistent white head. The sensory profile is led by a punchy hop bouquet, delivering vibrant layers of tropical fruit and elegant floral notes, complemented by a subtle, refreshing herbal undertone. A clean, grainy malt backbone provides essential structural support without detracting from the hop-forward focus. The palate experience is defined by a firm bitterness and a crisp, dry finish, making for a highly drinkable and aromatically charged ale that balances intensity with refined execution.

Appearance. Medium gold (6-8 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a medium-sized, dense white head featuring excellent retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus and tropical fruit notes, accented by distinct floral tones and a light herbal edge. Low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness provides a supportive base. Fermentation profile is neutral and clean.

Taste. Initial impression is decidedly hop-forward. Medium-high hop flavors of stone fruit and blossoms are balanced by a medium-high bitterness. A low, clean, grainy malt character persists into the mid-palate. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering, clean, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, fluid texture. Moderate-high carbonation contributes to a refreshing, crisp mouth-feel. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present with no perceived astringency.
