American IPA 7.1 º 88 IBU

Melvin Brewing

This American IPA showcases a modern approach to the style, utilizing Columbus hops and advanced lupulin powder technology to maximize aromatic impact. The result is an intense sensory profile defined by resinous pine, pungent dankness, and bright citrus notes without the aggressive, tongue-scraping bitterness often found in traditional examples. A base of clean, grainy pale malts provides a neutral canvas for the cryopowder-driven hop intensity. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, bolstered by a smooth, medium-bodied texture. This beer balances the classic, punchy character of West Coast hops with a refined, contemporary mouthfeel and high-efficiency production.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber with brilliant clarity. Pours with a persistent, frothy white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of resinous pine, damp earth, and sharp grapefruit zest from the Columbus hops. A light, clean, grainy malt sweetness sits in the background, overshadowed by a faint hint of tropical fruit esters and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial hop-forward impression of pine needles and herbal spice, followed by a mid-palate of citrus peel. The malt character is low, providing a simple cracker-like support. Bitterness is firm but exceptionally smooth due to the lupulin powder usage, leading into a dry, clean finish with a lingering resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a crisp bite. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present on the finish without any harsh astringency.
