This Session American IPA offers a bright, crushable experience centered on its vibrant hop profile. Dominant aromas of tropical fruit and blueberry from Mosaic hops lead the way, closely followed by a sharp, citrusy punch of grapefruit and lime driven by Citra hops. A restrained, clean, and grainy malt backbone provides just enough support without distracting from the hop-forward balance. The finish is notably dry and crisp, emphasizing a refreshing bitterness that invites another sip. Despite its lower alcohol content, the beer maintains a sophisticated aromatic depth, making it a quintessential example of a modern, highly portable hop showcase.
