American IPA 6 º
This American IPA delivers a vibrant sensory experience defined by its modern hop profile. The use of Sabro and El Dorado creates a complex bouquet of delicate apricot and lush tropical fruits, with distinct notes of coconut and pineapple drifting over a clean, grainy malt base. Its pale gold appearance and crisp, dry finish accentuate a firm bitterness that remains balanced and refreshing. Brewed as a collaboration, it captures a bright, breezy character where the stone fruit sweetness of the El Dorado hops harmonizes perfectly with the creamy tropical depth of the Sabro, resulting in a highly drinkable, fruit-forward profile.
Appearance. Medium gold (approx. 7 SRM) with excellent clarity and a persistent, creamy off-white head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by apricot, pineapple, and a distinctive coconut note. Low bready and grainy malt presence supports the hops, while the fermentation profile remains clean and neutral.
Taste. Strong hop flavors of tropical fruit and stone fruit lead into a firm, clean bitterness. A low, supportive grainy malt character balances the hop intensity without adding sweetness. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving a lingering impression of tropical fruit and citrus peel.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a refreshing bite, and alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated.
