Session IPA 4.7 º

Strangers Brewing Co

This American IPA offers a vibrant, resinous profile that bridges classic West Coast hops with the essence of locally foraged conifer tips. Despite its sessionable strength, the beer delivers a high-intensity sensory experience defined by forest-forward notes of fresh pine needles and woody resin. A lean, pale malt base provides a light, cracker-like foundation, allowing the botanical character to remain front and center. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, ensuring the citrusy hop accents and pungent spruce qualities shine. It concludes with a firm bitterness and a crisp, bone-dry finish, making for a refreshing and aromatically complex take on the style.

Appearance. Medium gold (6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a medium-sized, persistent white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatic profile dominated by fresh pine, spruce tips, and resinous forest notes. Supporting citrus hop characters of grapefruit and lemon zest are present. Malt is low and clean, offering a light grainy sweetness. No yeast esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward and resinous. Strong flavors of pine and conifer tips are balanced by citrus peel. Medium-high bitterness provides a sharp, clean edge. Malt flavor is low and neutral, resembling fresh crackers. The finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering piny aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a lively, refreshing mouthfeel. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
