American IPA 6 º 30 IBU

Twisted Barrel
Dead Weight Brewing Co.

This American IPA showcases a vibrant, hop-forward profile resulting from the collaboration of El Dorado, Amarillo, and Azacca hops. The initial sensory impression is a rush of tropical fruit, specifically mango and pineapple from the Azacca, balanced by the bright citrus and floral orange notes of Amarillo. El Dorado adds a unique depth of candy-like watermelon and pear. Supported by a clean, grainy malt backbone, the beer finishes with a crisp, firm bitterness. It is a modern take on a classic style, offering a bright, expressive bouquet and a refreshing, dryish finish that highlights the interplay of its featured New World hops.

Appearance. Color is medium gold (7 SRM) with a medium-sized, off-white head showing good persistence and lacing. Clarity is clear with only a very slight, faint haze.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent mango, pineapple, and grapefruit. Secondary notes of floral orange and subtle pine are present. Low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a neutral foundation; fermentation is very clean.

Taste. Initial impression is intensely hoppy, featuring ripe stone fruit, tropical mango, and zesty orange peel. Medium-high hop bitterness provides a firm structure. Low, clean, pale malt flavor supports the hops without adding sweetness. The finish is medium-dry and crisp with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Carbonation is medium-high, lending a refreshing effervescence. There is a very light, smooth alcohol warmth consistent with its strength.
