American IPA 4.5 º

Newbarns Brewery

Canopus is a vibrant American IPA from Newbarns Brewery, meticulously designed for cask delivery. Despite its sessionable 4.5% ABV, it radiates a modern hop intensity driven by Talus and Enigma. The Talus hops contribute signature aromas of pink grapefruit, dried rose petals, and a hint of sage, while Enigma adds sophisticated layers of red currant, raspberry, and subtle pinot noir grapes. This complex fruit and floral profile is supported by a lean, clean pale malt backbone. The result is a highly drinkable, hop-forward experience with a soft, cask-conditioned texture that concludes in a crisp, dry, and refreshing finish.

Appearance. Medium gold with a slight, natural haze common in cask-conditioned ales. Displays a medium-sized, white head with good persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of pink grapefruit, dried roses, and tropical melon. Subtle berry notes and a hint of spice emerge, supported by a low, clean, grainy malt character. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Bold hop flavors of citrus, raspberry, and light resinous pine dominate the palate. Low, clean, bready maltiness provides a neutral background for the hops. Bitterness is medium-high but feels rounded and integrated. The finish is dry with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture from cask conditioning. Carbonation is moderate to low, and the beer is exceptionally smooth with no alcohol warmth or astringency.
