American IPA 5.5 º

Phase Three Brewing

Trail Trip captures the essence of a crisp outdoor excursion, delivering a sharp and bright West Coast-style experience. This American IPA leans heavily into its signature Mosaic and El Dorado hops, presenting a vibrant bouquet of pithy citrus and fresh pine needles. The Mosaic hops provide a complex layering of tropical fruit and berry notes, while El Dorado contributes a distinct stone fruit sweetness and candy-like depth. It is meticulously clean and bright on the palate, with a supportive but restrained malt backbone that allows the hop bitterness to finish crisp and refreshing. It is an approachable, hop-forward ale designed for high drinkability and a bracing, resinous conclusion.

Appearance. Pours a brilliant medium gold with exceptional clarity. Topped by a medium-sized, frothy white head with good persistence and delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit zest, tropical mango, and fresh pine resin. A low, clean, grainy-sweet malt character supports the hop-forward profile, accompanied by very light stone fruit esters and a neutral fermentation character.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward and crisp, leading into intense flavors of citrus rind and resinous pine. Mosaic and El Dorado provide layers of blueberry and peach. The malt flavor is low and neutral, providing a clean canvas for the firm hop bitterness. Finishes dry and refreshing with a lingering, clean, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Very light alcohol warmth is well-integrated with no astringency.
