American IPA 5.2 º 40 IBU

Oltremondo

This Italian-grown single-hop American IPA showcases the classic Cascade variety with a refreshing, local twist. It pours with a light golden hue and a subtle haze from being unfiltered. The aroma is dominated by high-intensity notes of grapefruit zest, floral blossoms, and a touch of spicy pine typical of Cascade. On the palate, a lean, grainy malt base supports a firm 40 IBU bitterness that stays clean rather than harsh. Flavors of citrus peel and light herbal tea lead into a dry, crisp finish, making this 5.2% ale highly sessionable while maintaining the bold hop-forward character expected of the style.

Appearance. Medium gold color with a slight, persistent haze due to being unfiltered. It supports a medium-sized, white head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring prominent citrus notes of grapefruit and floral undertones. A low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness supports the hop presentation. The fermentation profile is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Hop-forward initial impression with moderate to high hop flavors of citrus zest and spicy floral notes. Low, grainy maltiness provides a supportive base. A firm bitterness of 40 IBUs is present but balanced. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a crisp sensation. Alcohol warmth is very low, and there is no perceived astringency.
