Río Azul / Zeta Runner’s Delight
American IPA 6 º
This American IPA presents a sharp, refreshing profile led by the resinous and citrusy character of Simcoe hops. A bright lemon addition amplifies the hop-derived citrus, while a subtle touch of salt provides a crisp, electrolyte-inspired edge. The grist of Pilsner malt and oats creates a smooth, lean backbone that highlights the hop intensity without adding heavy sweetness. Aromas of pine, passion fruit, and lemon zest precede a very dry finish. It balances the assertive bitterness typical of the style with a unique, thirst-quenching salinity, resulting in a vibrant, hop-forward experience that remains remarkably crisp on the palate.
Appearance. Medium gold with a slight, oat-induced haze. Maintains a persistent, frothy white head with moderate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent pine, resin, and passion fruit from the Simcoe hops, intertwined with a bright, zesty lemon fragrance. Low grainy-sweet malt presence with a clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Bold initial impression of citrus and piney resin. Hop bitterness is firm and clean, supported by a light, grainy Pilsner malt flavor. The addition of lemon adds a tangy layer, while a faint salinity enhances the dry, crisp finish. Bitterness is moderate-high and lingers pleasantly without harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture from the oats. Moderate carbonation provides a refreshing bite. Clean finish with no noticeable alcohol warmth.
