Nova Runda High Voltage is a vibrant American IPA that leverages a warm fermentation to amplify its aromatic intensity. It features a bold hop profile of citrus and resinous pine, supported by a lean, bready malt base. The specific High Voltage yeast introduces a subtle, electrifying ester profile that complements the tropical fruit notes. Crisp and assertive, this ale delivers a high-decibel bitterness that resonates through a dry, clean finish, capturing the energetic spirit of its namesake. The result is a highly drinkable, hop-forward experience where the unique fermentation characteristics drive a modern sensory profile.
Appearance.Color is medium gold (7 SRM) with a slight haze. Topped by a medium-sized, off-white head with good persistence and light lacing.
