This West Coast IPA pours with the classic clarity and golden hue expected of the style, offering a vibrant sensory experience to celebrate a decade of brewing. A complex hop bouquet led by Ekuanot, Simcoe, Strata, and Mosaic delivers a punchy profile of bright citrus and distinct blueberry tones. Subtle layers of resinous dankness emerge, supported by a clean, lean malt backbone that provides structure without cloying sweetness. The palate follows the nose, balancing refreshing fruit notes with a refined, lingering bitterness. It finishes crisp and dry, embodying a modern, polished take on the American IPA.
Appearance.Medium gold with brilliant clarity. Pours with a persistent, medium-sized white head that leaves decorative lacing.
Aroma.High hop intensity featuring prominent notes of fresh citrus zest and ripe blueberry. Hints of passion fruit and a signature resinous dankness are present, backed by a very low, clean bready malt character and a neutral fermentation profile.
Taste.The flavor is decidedly hop-forward, showcasing layers of grapefruit and orange peel from Ekuanot and Simcoe, alongside the berry-like qualities of Mosaic and Strata. A moderate, clean bitterness provides balance against a light, grainy malt base. The finish is medium-dry and crisp, with a lingering citrus and pine aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very subtle and well-integrated.
