This American IPA presents a modern hybrid character, balancing the punchy clarity of the West Coast with the vibrant fruitiness of a New England style. Highlighting a deliberate hop blend, Citra and Mosaic drive intense notes of tropical mango and zesty grapefruit, while Simcoe adds a distinctive piney and resinous depth. Magnum provides a clean, firm bitterness that supports the dry finish. The malt profile is lean, featuring light grainy notes that allow the hops to dominate. This is a refreshing, every-day IPA with a bright, crisp personality and a lingering hop-forward aftertaste that emphasizes its contemporary aromatic profile.
