American IPA 6 º

Stardust Brewery

Searching is a vibrant American IPA that emphasizes a modern, hop-forward profile while maintaining the approachable drinkability of a summer ale. This unfined pour showcases an intense aromatic bouquet of bright citrus zest and a classic undercurrent of resinous pine. On the palate, a high intensity of hop flavor dominates, supported by a clean, restrained grainy malt backbone that allows the bitterness to remain firm yet crisp. Despite its moderate strength, the alcohol is expertly integrated and hidden behind the hop showcase, leading into a refreshing, dry finish. It represents a balanced display of international hop varieties, delivering a sensory-rich experience that remains remarkably smooth and bright.

Appearance. Color is medium gold (7 SRM). Due to being unfined, the beer presents with a slight to moderate haze. It is topped by a medium-sized, persistent white head with good lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of fresh citrus zest—notably grapefruit and lemon—intermingled with a distinct resinous pine character. Low, clean, grainy malt sweetness sits in the background, with a very clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of citrus hop flavor followed by a firm, high bitterness. A secondary note of classic pine provides resinous depth. The malt character is low and grainy, providing a clean support structure. The finish is medium-dry and hoppy with a lingering, clean bitterness in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth is light and very well-integrated, with no perceived harshness or astringency.
