American IPA 6 º 40 IBU

Snowcap Brewing

This American IPA offers a vibrant sensory journey led by the punchy aromatic profile of Citra Cryo and the experimental HBC 1019 hops. Expect an intense burst of zesty grapefruit, passion fruit, and distinct tropical notes reminiscent of melon and stone fruit. The hop-forward character is supported by a clean, lean malt backbone that allows the complex fruit flavors to take center stage. A firm but smooth bitterness balances the initial fruitiness, leading to a crisp, dry finish. It presents as a bright, modern interpretation of the style, emphasizing hop saturation and aromatic clarity over heavy malt presence.

Appearance. Deep gold to light amber (SRM 6-8). Features a medium-sized, persistent white head with excellent lacing. Generally clear with a very slight, hop-derived haze.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent Citra-driven grapefruit and tropical fruit, paired with the unique stone fruit, melon, and floral-candy notes of HBC 1019. Low, clean, bready maltiness supports the hops. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Immediate hop impact featuring flavors of grapefruit zest, peach, and tropical melon. Low, grainy, slightly toasted malt support. Medium-high bitterness that is firm but clean, leading to a dry, crisp finish with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Medium-high carbonation providing a refreshing bite. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
