SALT

This Specialty IPA presents a complex interplay between dark malt indulgence and vibrant New World hop character. Marking a milestone of craft, the beer opens with an inviting aroma of milk chocolate and sweet honey, supported by a sturdy biscuit malt backbone. The sensory experience is defined by a refreshing hop profile featuring zesty lime, resinous pine, and tropical mango, finished with a cooling hint of mint. At 7.2% ABV, it maintains a clean fermentation profile and a firm bitterness that balances the subtle roast, resulting in a smooth, deceptively drinkable dark ale with a dry, lingering finish.

Appearance. Deep ebony to black (35+ SRM) with brilliant clarity when held to light. Crowned by a persistent, creamy, light tan head that leaves dense lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring distinct notes of lime zest, resinous pine, and ripe mango, with an unusual cool mint highlight. The malt profile is moderately low but complex, offering milk chocolate, toasted biscuit, and a floral honey sweetness.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with tropical mango and citrusy lime, followed quickly by a mid-palate of pine and mint. The malt provides a supportive, non-roasted base of biscuit and honey with a restrained, clean chocolate finish. Bitterness is firm and high but lacks harshness. Finishes dry with a lingering resinous and slightly toasty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a crisp lift. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its strength.
