Ruse Brewing

Songspire is a modern expression of the West Coast IPA, showcasing the versatile profile of 100% Simcoe hops. This pale gold ale radiates an intense bouquet of fuzzy stone fruit and tropical gummy worm sweetness, grounded by traditional resinous undertones. On the palate, the Simcoe hops deliver layers of apricot and passion fruit over a lean, crackery malt base. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, allowing the firm bitterness to accentuate a crisp, dry finish. Ruse Brewing has crafted a highly aromatic experience where the hop-forward character remains the undisputed protagonist, supported by a smooth mouthfeel and a refreshing, lingering hoppy aftertaste typical of the style.

Appearance. Clear, medium gold color with brilliant clarity. Pours with a medium-sized, off-white head that demonstrates good persistence and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of stone fruit, specifically apricot, alongside tropical fruit and a hint of resinous pine. Low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a subtle backdrop. Fermentation profile is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a wave of hop-derived stone fruit and tropical sweets. Medium-high bitterness is firm but clean. Low grainy malt flavor supports the hops without adding sweetness. The finish is decidedly dry and crisp, leading into a lingering aftertaste of resin and fruit skin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high, enhancing the dry finish. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. No astringency or harshness.
