IPA - India Pale Ale 6.4 º 100 IBU

La Quince Brewery

This vibrant American IPA delivers an intense sensory experience, defined by the addition of fresh grapefruit that amplifies the natural citrus qualities of its hop profile. Built upon a foundation of four malts, the beer presents a bright, clean canvas for its three-hop blend to express bold notes of resinous pine and pithy zest. The 100 IBUs provide a firm, uncompromising bitterness that slices through the fruit-forward character, leading to a crisp, dry finish. It is a modern, punchy ale where the sharp tang of pomelo meets a classic intensity, creating a refreshing yet profoundly bitter profile that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

Appearance. Luminous deep gold to pale amber (8-10 SRM) with excellent clarity. It supports a dense, persistent off-white head that leaves intricate lacing on the glass as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by fresh, zesty grapefruit and pithy pomelo. Supporting notes of resinous pine and floral hops emerge alongside a clean, low grainy malt sweetness and a neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. The palate is greeted by a sharp wave of grapefruit citrus and resinous hop oils. A solid but unobtrusive malt backbone of toasted bread provides structure. Bitterness is aggressive and firm, reflecting the 100 IBU count, yet remains clean rather than harsh. It finishes bone-dry with a long, pithy aftertaste of citrus peel and pine.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the hop concentration. Carbonation is moderate-to-high, enhancing the crispness. There is a faint, well-integrated alcoholic warmth consistent with the 6.4% ABV.
