Mallassepät Leka Extra IPA
Mallassepät Leka Extra IPA presents as a bold, modern interpretation of the American IPA. It balances a pronounced tropical and citrus fruitiness with a surprisingly substantial mouthfeel for the style. The aromatics are dominated by intense notes of ripe melon, mango, and zesty grapefruit, supported by a clean, underlying grainy malt base. Despite its "Extra" designation and 6.8% ABV, the bitterness is kept at a moderate level, ensuring the focus remains on the vibrant hop oils and a smooth, rounded texture. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of pine resin and sweet stone fruit.
Appearance. Deep gold to light copper color (7-11 SRM). Slight haze with a medium-sized, off-white head that exhibits good persistence and lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop character featuring notes of mango, passion fruit, and bright tangerine. Low, clean, grainy maltiness supports the aromatics. Clean fermentation profile with a subtle hint of resinous pine.
Taste. Very high hop flavor following the aroma with tropical fruit and citrus zest. Low, grainy maltiness with a hint of toasted bread. Bitterness is moderate but firm, providing balance. Finish is medium-dry and clean with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any harshness or astringency.
