Pastry Mastery

This American IPA presents a striking visual departure from tradition, incorporating cephalopod ink sacs to create a deep, ink-like sepia hue. Despite its dark appearance, the sensory profile remains firmly rooted in the style, featuring high-intensity aromas of resinous pine and bright grapefruit. The palate is defined by a bold, hop-forward character with a clean fermentation profile that allows a sharp bitterness to take center stage. A supporting, low-intensity grainy malt backbone balances a subtle, savory salinity derived from the ink, finishing dry and crisp. It is a creative, visually arresting take on a modern classic that maintains the hop-centric balance of its category.

Appearance. Opaque, deep sepia to jet black; medium-sized, off-white to light-tan head with good persistence and lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring notes of citrus zest, pine resin, and tropical fruit; supported by a low, clean, grainy maltiness and a very faint briny undertone from the specialty ingredient.

Taste. High hop bitterness and flavor, emphasizing grapefruit and pine; low grainy malt profile; clean fermentation; finishes dry with a lingering hoppy bitterness and a subtle savory complexity from the cuttlefish ink.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture; medium-high carbonation; very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
