American IPA 6 º 80 IBU

Octavo Arte

Octavo Arte RUDA is a balanced expression of the American IPA style, presenting an approachable 6% ABV that emphasizes drinkability. The sensory profile is defined by a controlled hop intensity, offering clear citrus and resinous notes characteristic of New World varieties without becoming overwhelming. This gold-hued ale balances its firm bitterness with a clean, light grainy malt backbone that suggests hints of toasted bread. The fermentation remains neutral, allowing the floral and fruit-forward hop character to lead into a crisp, dry finish. It represents a more nuanced approach to the style, favoring harmony between its aromatic hop presence and a supportive malt structure.

Appearance. Medium gold with bright clarity and a slight haze. Features a persistent, medium-sized white head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring notes of grapefruit zest, pine resin, and soft floral undertones. A low, clean, grainy-sweet malt presence supports the hop profile without adding caramel weight.

Taste. Initial hop-forward flavors of citrus and pine are met by a medium-high bitterness that remains smooth rather than harsh. The malt flavor is low, providing a neutral, grainy base with a light toasted edge. The finish is medium-dry and clean, leaving a lingering hoppy and pleasantly bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp, refreshing bite, accompanied by a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
