American IPA 7 º

LuckyBrews

This American IPA embodies the classic West Coast philosophy, delivering an assertive sensory experience defined by its uncompromising hop focus. At 7% ABV, it presents a bold aromatic profile of pungent pine resin, bright grapefruit zest, and subtle floral undertones. The palate is dominated by a firm, clean bitterness that provides a sharp structural backbone against a lean, crackery malt base. Its dry finish ensures high drinkability, stripping away sweetness to allow the resinous and citrusy hop oils to linger. It is a vibrant, transparent, and intensely aromatic ale that prioritizes a crisp, bitter impact over malt complexity.

Appearance. Deep gold to pale copper (8–11 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a thick, persistent white head that leaves dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, resinous pine, and a hint of orange peel. A very low, clean grainy malt sweetness sits in the background, accompanied by a neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial hop-forward punch of citrus rind and forest floor resin. The bitterness is high and clean, supporting a light toasted malt character. The fermentation is very clean, leading into a dry, crisp finish with a lingering, resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively mouthfeel. A subtle, well-integrated alcoholic warmth is present.
