This vibrant American IPA delivers a refreshing, summer-forward profile defined by the bright addition of natural pineapple and the unique character of Sabro hops. On the nose, intense aromas of tropical fruit, fresh-cut pineapple, and a hint of coconut from the Sabro dry-hopping dominate over a clean, low-intensity grainy malt base. The palate is light and crisp, showcasing a sharp, clean bitterness that balances the juicy fruit notes. A dry finish emphasizes the interplay between the pineapple sweetness and the resinous, stone-fruit qualities of the hops, making for a highly drinkable, aromatic experience.
