American IPA 6 º

Les Deux Amants
Merlin Hops Brewing More

This American IPA presents a vibrant tropical profile, masterfully blending high-intensity hop character with the lush additions of guava and passionfruit. The sensory journey is dominated by exotic fruit notes, where the sharp tang of passionfruit and the sweet, musky depth of guava intertwine with New World hop aromatics. A clean malt backbone provides just enough support to balance the firm bitterness, leading to a dry and refreshing finish. This collaboration with Merlin highlights a modern approach to the style, delivering a bouquet of citrus and stone fruit that enhances the fruit-forward nature of the beer while maintaining a crisp, hop-focused structure.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (approx. 7-9 SRM) with a slight haze from fruit additions. Topped by a medium-sized, off-white head with good persistence and moderate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of tropical fruit, specifically distinct guava and tart passionfruit. Supporting hop notes of citrus zest and pineapple follow. Malt is low and clean, showing as a faint crackery or grainy note, with a neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical guava and passionfruit. The mid-palate features a firm, clean bitterness typical of the style, balanced by a low, grainy malt sweetness. Hop flavors of grapefruit and mango persist into a dry, crisp finish with a lingering fruity and hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Very light, clean alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
