Labietis Virsaitis is a classic West Coast IPA that emphasizes a sharp, bitterness-forward profile. The aromatic stage is dominated by Mosaic hops, delivering a punchy bouquet of lychee, ripe mango, and zesty pomelo. This tropical intensity is grounded by a clean, bracing bitterness derived from Magnum hops, which cuts through the palate with precision. A backbone of amber malts provides a subtle toasted depth and a light reddish-amber hue, ensuring a balanced interplay between fruity hop esters and resinous grip. It finishes crisp and dry, leaving a lingering, refreshing trail of citrus peel and pine.
Appearance.Color is light reddish-amber (approx. 10-14 SRM). Generally clear with a medium-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit notes of mango and lychee, alongside zesty pomelo. Low clean maltiness with a hint of toasted grain. Fermentation is clean with negligible esters.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp, clean hop bitterness. Strong hop flavors of tropical fruit and citrus dominate, supported by a low toasted malt presence. The bitterness is firm but not harsh. Finishes dry and hoppy with a lingering bitterness and fruit skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly resinous texture. Carbonation is medium-high. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but subtle.
