IPA - India Pale Ale 6.2 º 50 IBU

Cervezas La Virgen

Inspired by the historic maritime voyage around the Cape of Good Hope, this American IPA delivers a vibrant sensory experience focused on freshness. The aromatic profile is led by the punchy citrus and tropical fruit notes of Citra, layered over the classic grapefruit and floral spice of Cascade hops. A lean, pale malt backbone provides just enough support to let the hops shine without adding heavy sweetness. Crisp and well-attenuated, the beer finishes with a clean, assertive bitterness and a lingering resinous character. At 6.2% ABV, it strikes a perfect balance between hop intensity and effortless drinkability.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (approx. 7–9 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a tall, persistent off-white head that leaves dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma. Prominent citrus and grapefruit peel from the Cascade hops, complemented by tropical notes of mango and lime zest from the Citra. Low, clean, bready-grainy malt sweetness in the background. Fermentation is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Assertive hop flavor mirrors the aroma with orange zest, floral spice, and tropical fruit. Medium-high bitterness is firm but clean, never harsh. The malt is low, offering a light toasted bread flavor that supports rather than competes. Finishes dry and crisp with a long-lasting hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly resinous texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. Very subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
