Soldier Hops Bastardos is a punchy, resinous American IPA that showcases a classic interplay between old-school and modern hop profiles. The sensory experience is led by the aggressive, dank pine and herbal spice of Columbus hops, which provide a firm foundation for the complex layers of blueberry, mango, and tropical stone fruit delivered by Mosaic. At 6.5% ABV, the beer maintains a clean, grainy malt presence that supports the high bitterness without competing for attention. It finishes crisp and decidedly dry, leaving a lingering trail of citrus zest and resin, epitomizing a well-balanced, hop-forward ale with a sharp, refreshing edge.
Appearance.Medium gold to light reddish-amber in color (7-10 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, off-white head that exhibits excellent persistence and leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent resinous pine, spicy earth, and damp herbs from the Columbus hops, complemented by Mosaic-driven notes of tropical fruit, blueberry, and light citrus. Malt aroma is low and clean, suggesting a pale, grainy character with a hint of toasted bread.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply hop-forward. Medium-high to high hop flavors mirror the aroma with layers of resin, pine, and tropical papaya. Malt flavor is low but provides a clean, grainy backbone that allows the firm bitterness to shine. Medium-high bitterness is clean and well-integrated. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily hop texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp bite. A light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no detectable astringency or harshness.
