Tartan Shark Green Thumb
IPA Other 5 º
Tartan Shark’s Green Thumb is a vibrant American IPA that showcases the unique, chlorophyll-rich character of estate-grown green hops. Harvested and brewed within minutes of picking, the beer radiates an intense, fresh hop profile defined by resinous pine, bright citrus, and a distinctive grassy vibrancy often lost in kiln-dried varieties. A clean, grainy malt backbone supports the assertive bitterness without adding competing sweetness. The result is a crisp, punchy ale with a medium-dry finish that highlights the wet-hop harvest seasonality. It captures the essence of the hop field, offering a pungent sensory experience that is both herbal and refreshingly bitter.
Appearance. Medium gold in color (8 SRM) with a slight, crystalline haze. Pours with a thick, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by fresh, green hop character. Vivid notes of resinous pine, crushed citrus needles, and a distinct herbal, grassy quality. Underlying low, clean, grainy malt support with a clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Immediate and assertive fresh hop flavor featuring grapefruit pith, pine resin, and a vibrant, grassy wet hop essence. Low grainy-sweet malt flavor provides a clean canvas for the hops. Bitterness is medium-high and clean, leading into a dry, crisp finish with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a lively, refreshing mouthfeel. Minimal alcohol warmth reflecting the sessionable strength.
