PINTA Wide Range is a modern West Coast IPA that emphasizes brightness and a streamlined malt profile. It delivers a high-intensity sensory experience characterized by vibrant citrus zest, sticky pine resin, and tropical fruit notes. The use of pale base malts ensures the beer remains very dry and crisp, providing a clean canvas for the firm hop bitterness to shine. Despite its 6.5% ABV strength, the fermentation remains exceptionally clean with a lean body that promotes high drinkability. The finish is snappy and hop-forward, leaving a lingering, resinous aftertaste typical of the style's evolution toward greater balance and clarity.
Appearance.Brilliantly clear, medium gold (6-7 SRM). Topped by a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, resinous pine, and subtle tropical stone fruit. Malt is low and clean with a faint grainy-sweet character; no caramel is present. Fermentation is clean with negligible esters.
Taste.Initial impression is hop-dominant with flavors of lemon peel, pine needles, and mango. Low, grainy malt support leads into a medium-high to high bitterness that is firm but not harsh. The finish is very dry and clean, featuring a lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste with minimal malt interference.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a refreshing bite. Features a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any astringency.
