American IPA 6 º 65 IBU

St. Laurentius

This West Coast style American IPA showcases a vibrant hop-forward profile led by the classic trio of Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet of tropical fruit, bright citrus, and a hint of resinous pine. The palate is dominated by grapefruit and blueberry notes from the Mosaic and Citra, while Simcoe provides a grounding earthy and piney backbone. A clean, lean malt base allows the firm bitterness to take center stage, finishing crisp and dry. With its clear, golden appearance and assertive hop character, this brew exemplifies the classic, refreshing intensity of the style.

Appearance. Medium gold with brilliant clarity. Pours with a medium-sized, frothy white head that exhibits good persistence and leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit and tangerine, coupled with tropical blueberry and mango scents. A distinctive resinous, piney edge is present. Malt character is low and clean, providing a faint grainy-sweet foundation with a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Immediate hop-forward impact of tropical fruit and citrus zest, specifically passion fruit and orange, balanced by a sharp, clean pine resin. A firm, medium-high bitterness cuts through the palate. The malt is supportive but restrained, offering a crackery, grainy-sweet note. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering, clean hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a refreshing prickle. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated. No perceivable astringency.
