American IPA 6.5 º

O'Clock Brewing

This American IPA showcases a vibrant, hop-forward profile centered on the synergy between Amarillo and HBC 638 hops. At 6.5% ABV, the beer opens with an aromatic burst of orange zest and floral grapefruit courtesy of the Amarillo, while the HBC 638 introduces complex layers of tropical mango and a subtle herbal spice. The sensory experience is underpinned by a clean, restrained malt presence that provides just enough grainy support to highlight the hop intensity without adding significant sweetness. It finishes with a crisp, resinous bitterness and a dry, refreshing snap characteristic of the style.

Appearance. Medium gold to light amber color (7-9 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, frothy white head that exhibits excellent persistence and leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring prominent notes of sweet citrus, orange peel, and tropical stone fruit. A light floral and spicy herbal undertone from the HBC 638 adds complexity. Low, clean, grainy-sweet malt aroma supports the hops, while the fermentation profile remains neutral and free of significant esters.

Taste. The initial impression is dominated by citrus and tropical hop flavors, specifically grapefruit and mango. A low bready malt character provides a brief foundation before a firm, medium-high bitterness takes over. The balance is decidedly hop-forward. The finish is medium-dry to dry, leaving a lingering, clean aftertaste of resin and citrus pith.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily hop texture. Carbonation is medium-high, lending a lively and crisp mouthfeel. A very subtle, smooth alcohol warmth is present, well-integrated into the overall structure without any harshness.
