American IPA 6.8 º 65 IBU

Ska Brewing

This American IPA offers a classic sensory profile defined by its assertive bitterness and vibrant hop character. It presents a deep golden-orange hue that precedes a high-intensity aroma dominated by resinous pine and bright grapefruit. On the palate, a firm bitterness of 65 IBUs is balanced by a supporting malt backbone that contributes subtle notes of toasted bread and light caramel. The finish is remarkably smooth and dry, leaving a lingering, clean citrus aftertaste. It is a robust and unapologetic example of the style, emphasizing a resinous and citrus-forward complexity that remains crisp and highly drinkable.
