American IPA 6.2 º

Ritual Lab
Birrificio Lambrate

Round Trip is a vibrant collaboration between Ritual Lab and Birrificio Lambrate, manifesting as a quintessential American IPA. It presents a punchy, hop-forward profile where bright citrus zest and resinous pine take center stage. At 6.2% ABV, the beer balances its assertive bitterness with a lean, supportive malt base of pale grains, ensuring a clean and refreshing experience. The fermentation is exceptionally tidy, allowing the nuances of New World hops to shine through with hints of grapefruit and tropical undertones. It concludes with a crisp, dry finish that emphasizes its hoppy character, inviting another sip of this expertly crafted, bitter ale.

Appearance. Medium gold with brilliant clarity. Pours with a persistent, off-white, creamy head that leaves decorative lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, orange peel, and resinous pine. A low, clean, crackery malt sweetness provides a foundational layer, accompanied by subtle fermentation esters of melon.

Taste. Initial impression is led by high hop flavors of citrus and pine needles, supported by a low, grainy-sweet malt character. The bitterness is firm and clean, assertive but never harsh. It finishes dry and crisp with a lingering hoppy and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated.
