TrimTab Brewing Co. Terra Formosa
Terra Formosa presents as a vibrant Double IPA, defined by its intensive double dry-hopping. The sensory experience is dominated by the interplay of Citra and Nelson Sauvin hops, yielding a profile bursting with pink grapefruit, succulent mango, and a sophisticated white wine-like gooseberry character. Its appearance is characterized by a significant haze and a resilient white foam. On the palate, the hop-forward profile is supported by a soft, bready malt base, providing a plush foundation for the complex tropical and vinous flavors. The finish is crisp and clean, with a restrained bitterness and a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
Appearance. Pale gold to light orange (approx. 6-7 SRM). Significant, opaque haze consistent with the style. Large, persistent, creamy white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, and crushed gooseberry. Distinctive Nelson Sauvin provides a vinous, white grape quality, while Citra adds layers of lime zest and mango. Supportive, low, bready malt in the background; neutral fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical and citrus fruit. Strong hop flavors of grapefruit, melon, and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Bitterness is firm but soft and integrated, lacking harshness. Clean, low grainy malt character. Medium-dry finish with a lingering tropical fruit and light resin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. A light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but not solventy. No hop-derived astringency.
