This American IPA presents a vibrant tropical bouquet driven by a heavy-handed dry-hopping regimen. The interplay of Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic, and Mandarina Bavaria hops delivers a complex sensory landscape of mango, passionfruit, and bright tangerine. A light pale malt foundation, augmented by wheat and oats, provides a soft, slightly hazy canvas for these fruit-forward notes without competing for dominance. The use of an expressive yeast strain adds a subtle layer of stone fruit esters that complements the hop profile. Refreshing and crisp, it finishes with a clean, lingering bitterness and a hint of zesty citrus peel.
Appearance.Medium gold with a slight haze from the inclusion of wheat and oats; features a dense, white, persistent head with moderate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit (mango, pineapple), citrus (tangerine, grapefruit), and a hint of resinous pine. Low grainy malt sweetness and light stone fruit esters provide a clean, supportive background.
Taste.Intense flavors of tropical and citrus fruit driven by Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic, and Mandarina Bavaria hops; moderate to high bitterness that balances a lean, grainy pale malt backbone. The finish is dry with a lingering citrus and resinous hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture derived from the wheat and oats; moderate-high carbonation; no perceived alcohol warmth.
