American IPA 6.4 º

Purtse Brewery

AA Rand is a vibrant American IPA that exemplifies the West Coast style through its sharp clarity and assertive hop profile. The aromatic profile is dominated by the specific use of Mosaic hops, which deliver an intricate bouquet of tropical mango, dark berries, and a whisper of resinous pine. This complexity carries onto the palate, where a firm, clean bitterness cuts through a lean, grainy malt base. The finish is notably dry and crisp, leaving a lingering trail of citrus zest and earthy fruitiness. This collaboration emphasizes a high-intensity hop experience while maintaining a balanced, refreshing structure and a brilliant, golden appearance.

Appearance. Brilliant clarity with a deep gold color (7-9 SRM). Pours with a dense, persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent Mosaic characteristics of tropical mango, ripe blueberry, and tangerine. Background notes of resinous pine and a hint of floral earthiness are present. Clean fermentation profile with low, grainy-sweet malt support.

Taste. Leading with high hop bitterness, the flavor follows the aroma with layers of stone fruit and citrus. The malt provides a low, supportive cracker-like base without residual sweetness. The beer finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering hop-driven bitterness and a clean, resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a refreshing bite. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is appropriate for the 6.4% ABV.
