American IPA 6.5 º 60 IBU

New Hokkaido

This vibrant American IPA offers a contemporary West Coast profile, defined by its lean and exceptionally crisp body derived from the addition of Hokkaido Rice. The aromatic intensity is driven by a potent combination of Strata and Nelson Sauvin hops, delivering a complex bouquet of passionfruit, ripe pineapple, and bright citrus alongside a characteristic underlying dankness. On the palate, the hop-forward character remains dominant, showcasing tropical fruit layers and a hint of white wine grapes. A firm, clean bitterness cuts through the subtle, grainy malt profile, leading to a bone-dry, refreshing finish that exemplifies modern hop-forward craftsmanship.

Appearance. Medium gold color (7 SRM). Features a medium-sized white head with excellent persistence and fine lacing. Brilliant clarity.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of passionfruit and pineapple, complemented by gooseberry and white grape character. A low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a neutral backdrop. Clean fermentation profile with a hint of dank resin.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-dominant with flavors of citrus, passionfruit, and crushed grapes. Low grainy malt flavor provides subtle support. High bitterness is clean and sharp without being harsh. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving a lingering tropical and resinous aftertaste.
