American IPA 6.5 º

Magic Road

This American IPA showcases a vibrant, modern hop profile driven by the harmonious pairing of Citra and Sabro. At 6.5% ABV, it presents an assertive bouquet where Citra provides bright layers of pink grapefruit and tropical mango, while Sabro introduces its signature creamy coconut, cedar, and ripe stone fruit nuances. The sensory experience is underpinned by a clean, grainy malt foundation derived from its 16 blg starting gravity, ensuring a supportive yet unobtrusive backbone. A firm, resinous bitterness cuts through the tropical sweetness, leading to a crisp, dry finish that emphasizes the sophisticated interplay of citrus and creaminess in this aromatic and punchy ale.

Appearance. Medium gold in color (approx. 7 SRM) with a brilliant clarity and a tall, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent grapefruit and tropical fruit notes from Citra, alongside distinct coconut, cream, and light woodsy cedar from Sabro. Low grainy-sweet maltiness provides a neutral background, while the fermentation profile remains very clean with no detectable esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with intense flavors of citrus zest, tangerine, and coconut. The malt flavor is low but provides a clean, crackery support. Bitterness is medium-high and firm, balanced by a medium-dry finish. The aftertaste is hoppy and clean, lingering with notes of resin and tropical fruit without any harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp bite. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the hop expression without being hot or fusel.
