Trademark Brewing

Trademark Brewing’s Ocean Thunder is a vibrant American IPA that showcases a sophisticated trio of Nelson, Citra, and Strata hops. The sensory experience is led by the distinctive Nelson Sauvin character, offering notes of white wine and crushed gooseberry, layered over the punchy grapefruit and lime zest of Citra. Strata adds a complex dimension of passionfruit and a hint of herbal dankness. Supported by a clean, light malt backbone, the palate remains crisp and refreshing. This ale balances intense tropical fruitiness with a firm, resinous bitterness, leading into a dry, lingering finish that epitomizes the modern West Coast approach to the style.

Appearance. Deep gold (7 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, persistent white head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of passionfruit, white grape, and pink grapefruit. Low clean, grainy malt sweetness provides a neutral base. Very light fermentation esters and a touch of piney resin are present; no diacetyl.

Taste. High hop flavor follows the aroma with layers of citrus peel, tropical berries, and gooseberry. Medium-high bitterness is clean and well-structured against a light, crackery malt base. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering hoppy and resinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture from hop resins. Moderate-high carbonation provides a crisp bite. Very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
