La Source Beer Co.

This West Coast IPA presents a modern, neo interpretation, balancing a crisp malt backbone of Pils and Vienna malts with an explosive hop profile. The aromatics are dominated by Idaho7 and Galaxy, offering intense waves of ripe pineapple, passion fruit, and peach, while Simcoe introduces a classic resinous pine and earthy depth. On the palate, a firm bitterness provides structure, leading to a dry and refreshing finish characteristic of the style. The interplay of tropical vibrancy and clean, grainy malt creates a sophisticated, hop-forward experience that remains highly drinkable and bright, showcasing the signature punch of its New World hop varieties.

Appearance. Brilliant medium gold with a large, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing; high clarity.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent notes of tropical fruit, stone fruit, and a supporting layer of resinous pine and citrus zest. Low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness with a hint of toasted bread; very clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Strong hop flavors of passion fruit, citrus, and pine needles dominate. High bitterness is clean and sharp, supported by a low, grainy, and slightly toasty malt backbone. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering hop-bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp bite. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
