American IPA 7.2 º 90 IBU

Lervig Aktiebryggeri

This American IPA showcases a luxurious texture driven by a significant 25% addition of oats, which displaces traditional caramel malts to create a soft, pillowy foundation. The sensory profile is dominated by the sophisticated interplay of Nelson Sauvin and Hallertau Blanc hops, delivering an aromatic burst of crushed white grapes, gooseberry, and a vibrant, high-end grapefruit intensity. This malt bill provides a neutral yet substantial stage for the complex, wine-like hop character to shine. The experience is defined by the contrast between its silky, creamy mouthfeel and the sharp, citrus-forward hop punch, finishing with a clean, refreshing bitterness.

Appearance. Medium gold (6-8 SRM) with a slight, persistent haze indicative of high oat content. Features a dense, creamy off-white head with excellent persistence and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by white wine, passion fruit, and fresh grapefruit zest. A clean, bready, and slightly sweet grainy malt character supports the hops, while yeast esters remain neutral and fermentation is clean.

Taste. Initial impression is a bright burst of grapefruit and vinous grape from the Nelson Sauvin and Hallertau Blanc hops. A medium-low bready malt sweetness is present but quickly overtaken by a firm, medium-high bitterness. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering resinous and citrusy hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a distinct silkiness and creaminess from the oats. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle that prevents the weight from feeling heavy. A light, smooth alcohol warmth is present.
