This bright golden American IPA captures the classic West Coast spirit with a fierce hop profile and a crisp, dry finish. Intense aromas of resinous pine and citrus grapefruit, driven by Cascade and Columbus, dominate the nose. On the palate, Amarillo and Trident introduce bright layers of lime and zest, while Sultana adds a subtle hint of sweet pineapple to balance the assertive bitterness. The clean, grainy malt backbone allows the complex hop oils to remain the focus, leading into a sharp, refreshing finish. It is a vibrant example of a modern West Coast IPA that emphasizes clarity and a firm bitter sensation.

Appearance. Medium gold (7 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves decorative lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring pine, resin, and pungent grapefruit. Supporting notes of lime and tropical pineapple are present. Malt is low and clean, displaying a neutral grainy character with a very clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Immediate hop-forward impact with flavors of grapefruit, lime, and resinous pine. A distinct pineapple sweetness emerges mid-palate before being swept away by a firm, high bitterness. Low grainy malt provides a subtle platform. Finishes very dry and clean with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp, refreshing bite. Alcohol warmth is negligible, and there is no perceived astringency despite the high hop load.
