IPA - India Pale Ale 6.5 º

Mudita

This American IPA serves as a vibrant single-hop showcase for Motueka, utilized in a double dry-hop addition to maximize aromatic impact. The sensory profile is defined by an explosive citrus character, where bright lime zest and crushed lemon take center stage against a minimalist, clean grainy malt backdrop. Its straw-colored appearance precedes a lean, refreshing structure that emphasizes hop-forward punch over malt sweetness. The experience concludes with a firm, lingering bitterness and a crisp, dry finish, allowing the distinctive tropical and citrus notes of the New Zealand hops to resonate clearly without distraction from heavy fermentation esters.

Appearance. Pale straw color (approximately 3–5 SRM). Displays a medium-sized, white, persistent head with good lacing. Clarity is generally clear, though a very slight haze may be present from the double dry-hopping.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by fresh lime, lemon peel, and subtle tropical fruit notes. Low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness supports the hops. Fermentation profile is neutral and clean, free of significant yeast esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with intense flavors of lime juice and citrus zest. Low malt presence with a crackery, dry quality. Bitterness is medium-high to high, providing a sharp but clean counterpoint to the fruit. The finish is dry and bitter with a lingering citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a crisp, lean texture. Carbonation is medium-high, enhancing the refreshing quality. Light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated at 6.5% ABV.
