This American IPA from the Terres de Ponent presents a vibrant sensory profile that leads with an assertive hop bouquet. Expect dominant notes of citrus zest, pine resin, and tropical fruit, characteristic of modern hop varieties. Despite the accessible 5.1% ABV, which leans toward the sessionable end of the style, the beer maintains a firm, clean bitterness that defines the experience. A foundation of pale malts provides a subtle grainy sweetness and a hint of toasted character, ensuring the hops remain the focus. The finish is notably dry and refreshing, making it a bright, hop-forward representation of high-fermentation ales.
