American IPA 7 º

The Flying Inn

Selene is an assertive Double Dry Hopped West Coast IPA that prioritizes brilliant clarity and a sharp, resinous profile. This American IPA bursts with intense aromas of grapefruit zest and pungent pine, characteristic of heavy dry-hopping. The malt presence remains low and clean, serving merely as a canvas for the hops to shine. On the palate, a firm and unwavering bitterness takes center stage, complemented by flavors of citrus peel and forest resin. It finishes remarkably dry and crisp, leaving a lingering, clean bitterness that invites another sip. At 7% ABV, it balances strength with high drinkability.

Appearance. Medium gold (7 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a persistent, medium-sized white head that leaves significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit, resinous pine, and a hint of tropical mango. Malt character is low and clean, offering a faint grainy-sweet background with a neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean hop bitterness. Flavors of citrus zest and pine needles dominate, supported by a low, grainy pale malt foundation. Bitterness is high and assertive, leading to a crisp, bone-dry finish with a long-lasting, resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate to high carbonation enhances the dry finish. A light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but remains well-integrated and free of harshness.
