IPA Other 5.5 º 40 IBU

ReCraft

This American IPA expertly bridges the gap between the assertive hop character of a modern ale and the crisp, lean profile of a pilsner. At 5.5% ABV, it presents a highly drinkable take on the 'Cold IPA' concept. Distinctive Slovenian hops drive the sensory experience, offering an intense and pleasant bouquet of tart black currant, tropical pineapple, and herbal lemongrass, accented by a sophisticated note of black tea. The fermentation is exceptionally clean and lager-like, providing a transparent canvas for the delicate, grainy malt character to shine while ensuring a sharp, dry, and refreshingly bitter finish.

Appearance. Presents a brilliant, clear, pale gold color (approximately 6 SRM) topped with a medium-sized, bright white head that shows good persistence and leaves fine lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring a complex blend of tropical pineapple, herbal lemongrass, and berry-like black currant, followed by a secondary note of black tea. Malt is low and cleanly grainy-sweet. Fermentation profile is extremely clean with no significant yeast esters.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp and hop-forward, delivering vivid flavors of pineapple and herbal tea. Malt flavor is low, providing a neutral, crackery foundation. Bitterness is firm and assertive, consistent with the style's high IBU expectations. The finish is very dry and clean, with a lingering hop-driven bitterness and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, lean texture. Carbonation is medium-high, contributing to a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated; no astringency is present.
