Purity Brewing Co. Saddle Black
Saddle Black is a sophisticated Black IPA that expertly balances robust malt depth with vibrant New World hop character. The sensory profile is led by a bright, resinous punch of grapefruit and pine driven by Chinook and Cascade hops. This citrus-forward brightness is layered over a complex foundation of chocolate and black malts, contributing distinct notes of espresso and unsweetened cocoa. A subtle addition of smoked malt introduces a delicate, savory whisper that adds intrigue without overshadowing the hop-forward balance. It finishes remarkably clean and dry, maintaining high drinkability while showcasing the firm bitterness and aromatic intensity expected of the style.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to opaque black with ruby highlights. Features a persistent, creamy, light tan head with excellent lacing and brilliant clarity.
Aroma. Moderate-high hop intensity featuring grapefruit, resinous pine, and a touch of floral citrus. The malt presence is moderate-low, offering notes of cold-brew coffee, dark chocolate, and a faint, clean wood-smoke background.
Taste. Initial flavors of citrus zest and pine needles transition into a mid-palate of toasted bread, cocoa, and light espresso. The bitterness is firm and assertive but smooth, never harsh. A light smoky wisp and restrained roasted grain character emerge toward the finish, which is dry and hop-centric.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a crisp, refreshing lift. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and zero astringency from the dark malts.
