This Session IPA presents a vibrant, hop-forward profile led by the punchy aromatics of Mosaic and HBC630 hops. Despite the lower alcohol content, it captures the essential spirit of an American IPA with a clean, grainy malt backbone that allows the hop character to dominate. The sensory experience is defined by a complex fusion of tropical fruit, blueberry, and stone fruit, characteristic of its modern hop bill. A firm, refreshing bitterness cuts through the light body, resulting in a crisp, dry finish. It is a highly drinkable yet expressive ale that emphasizes aromatic intensity and a clean fermentation profile.
Appearance.Medium gold color (6 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a medium-sized, persistent white head that leaves moderate lacing.

Taste.Initial impression is hop-forward and bitter. High hop flavors of mango, mixed berries, and grapefruit zest predominate. Low, crackery malt flavor provides a light but necessary support. Bitterness is medium-high and clean. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
