Anguille V3 is a vibrant American IPA that showcases a modern, hop-forward profile driven by a heavy double dry-hop. The inclusion of Idaho 7 and Mosaic hops delivers a punchy array of tropical fruit, pineapple, and citrus zest, while the Cryo Pop blend intensifies the aromatic impact with stone fruit and berry nuances. A lean, grainy malt base allows these vivid hop layers to take center stage, finishing with a crisp, resinous bite. The sensory experience is defined by its bright saturation of flavor and a clean, refreshing character that highlights the brewer's focus on contemporary hop expression and a dry, drinkable finish.
Appearance.Pale gold to medium gold (approx. 6-8 SRM). Topped with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing. Exhibits a slight haze, characteristic of modern dry-hopping techniques, though remaining mostly clear.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring dominant notes of ripe mango, passion fruit, and pine needles. The addition of Cryo Pop contributes a distinct sweet stone fruit and berry-like lift. Low, clean, cracker-like maltiness provides a neutral background. Fermentation is very clean with no significant esters.
Taste.Initial impression is an explosion of tropical fruit and citrus. Prominent flavors of blueberry and tangerine transition into a firm, resinous bitterness. The malt flavor is low, providing just enough bread-crust support to prevent the beer from being sharp. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering hop-derived grapefruit peel aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from the hop oils. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated at 7% ABV. No harshness or astringency.
