IPA - India Pale Ale 4.5 º 45 IBU

The Flying Inn

The Flying Inn Libélula presents as a vibrant American IPA designed for sessionable drinkability. The sensory profile is dominated by a complex hop bouquet featuring Ekuanot, Mosaic, Columbus, and Citra. Intense aromas of tropical mango, zesty grapefruit, and a hint of resinous pine lead into a juicy palate. The interplay of Mosaic and Citra delivers bright citrus and berry notes, while Ekuanot adds layers of stone fruit and green melon. A lean, grainy malt base allows the high hop intensity and firm bitterness to remain center stage, finishing crisp and refreshing with a lingering tropical aftertaste.

Appearance. Medium gold with a slight haze. Features a medium-sized, persistent white head with moderate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma with prominent citrus, tropical fruit, and resinous notes. Distinctive scents of grapefruit, blueberry, and pine are supported by a low, clean, grainy maltiness. Fermentation is clean with very low esters.

Taste. Hop-forward initial impression showcasing tropical fruit, berry, and sharp citrus flavors. Medium-high bitterness is well-integrated against a light, crackery malt backdrop. Finishes dry and clean with a long, hoppy aftertaste of citrus rind and resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation enhances the refreshing quality. No alcohol warmth or astringency present.
