IPA - India Pale Ale 6.7 º
This vibrant American IPA delivers a potent, multi-layered sensory experience driven by a powerhouse selection of Southern Hemisphere hops. Nelson Sauvin introduces a bold, dank complexity laced with crushed white grape and tropical undertones, while Waimea and Taiheke balance the profile with bright bursts of fresh citrus zest and resinous pine. Finally, Rakau rounds out the experience, imparting rich stone fruit aromas reminiscent of a sun-drenched orchard. Supported by a clean, subtle malt backbone, this highly aromatic brew strikes a firm balance between aggressive bitterness and juicy fruitiness, finishing dry and crisp.
Appearance. Medium gold to light amber in color. Pours with a thick, frothy off-white head that boasts excellent retention and leaves intricate lacing. Brilliant clarity, though a very slight haze is present due to heavy dry-hopping.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by a complex blend of dank pine, white grape, and heavy tropical fruit. Notes of fresh grapefruit and lime are complemented by underlying apricot and pear. A very low, clean, grainy-sweet malt presence sits in the background, alongside a neutral fermentation profile.
Taste. An initial rush of vibrant citrus and crushed gooseberry flavors. The malt is low and cracker-like, providing a clean canvas for intense hop characters of pine resin, lime zest, and stone fruit. Medium-high bitterness is assertive and clean, leading into a crisp, dry finish with a lingering, resinous, and fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, clean texture. Carbonation is medium-high and lively. Features a very soft, smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated, with absolutely no harshness or astringency.
