Prisma is a vibrant American IPA that showcases a classic trifecta of Pacific Northwest hops. The aromatic profile is dominated by the bright citrus zest and tropical nuances of Citra, supported by the floral and grapefruit notes of Cascade and the resinous, piney backbone of Centennial. It presents a clean, pale gold appearance with a persistent white foam. The palate is led by firm bitterness and a lean, grainy malt presence that allows the hop character to remain the focal point. With a crisp, dry finish and a medium body, this beer exemplifies a bright, hop-forward sensory experience.
