American IPA 7 º 65 IBU

The Flying Inn

Ménade is a striking American IPA that bridges the gap between classic resinous bite and modern soft textures. The beer pours a glowing orange, underpinned by a wheat forward malt base that provides a plush, creamy foundation. Chinook hops deliver a firm, structural bitterness, while a generous double dry-hopping of Simcoe drives an intense aromatic profile of damp pine, forest resin, and fresh-cut grass. This fusion creates a 'West Coast' punch over a 'New England' soul, resulting in a beer that balances high hop intensity with a smooth, bready malt support and a clean, lingering finish.

Appearance. Glowing deep orange color (8-10 SRM). Features a thick, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing. Clarity is noticeably hazy, leaning toward opaque due to the high wheat content.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of pine resin, earth, and grass from the Simcoe and Chinook. A light, grainy, and bready malt sweetness provides a subtle backbone. Fermentation is clean with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward and resinous. Strong hop flavors of pine and citrus pith are balanced by a medium-low grainy wheat maltiness. Bitterness is firm and medium-high, consistent with the style. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, clean, resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture derived from the wheat. Moderate carbonation. Provides a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any harshness or astringency.
