Three Hills Brewing Small Steps 24.30
Session IPA 4 º
This session-strength American IPA delivers a vibrant bouquet of tropical fruit and citrus, driven by a heavy-handed addition of Citra and Mosaic hops. The Cryo Pop blend intensifies the experience, offering punchy notes of pink grapefruit, ripe mango, and sweet pineapple. Despite its approachable 4% ABV, the beer maintains an assertive hop presence over a lean, crackery malt base. Clean fermentation allows the complex essential oils to dominate, finishing with a crisp, refreshing bitterness. It is a light-bodied but flavor-forward ale that captures the essence of modern West Coast-inspired hopping in a highly drinkable, low-gravity format.
Appearance. Pale gold (6 SRM) with a slight haze. Features a medium-sized, white, persistent head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma with pronounced notes of mango, passionfruit, and grapefruit from the Citra and Mosaic. Subtle berry and resinous pine notes are present. Low, clean, grainy-sweet malt support with a very clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with bright citrus and melon. Medium-high hop flavor mimics the aroma with grapefruit peel and stone fruit. Low grainy maltiness provides a minimalist backbone. Medium-high bitterness is firm but clean. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Medium-high carbonation. No alcohol warmth or astringency.
