This American IPA is a lupulin-forward experience defined by the assertive character of Green Bullet hops. A bright floral bouquet leads the charge, intertwined with distinct notes of resinous pine and subtle citrus zest. Despite its aggressive hopping rate, a clean base of pale malts provides a sturdy, crackery foundation that prevents the bitterness from becoming abrasive. The profile is quintessentially West Coast in spirit, offering a crisp, dryish finish that highlights the interplay between spicy hop oils and a refined, moderate alcohol presence, culminating in a lingering, piney aftertaste that demands another sip.
Appearance.Deep gold to light reddish-amber in color with brilliant clarity. It carries a medium-sized, off-white head with excellent persistence and intricate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent floral notes, crushed pine needles, and a hint of resinous spice. Supporting the hops is a low, clean, grainy maltiness with a neutral fermentation profile.
Taste.Medium-high hop flavor mirrors the aroma with floral and pine-forward notes. A firm, medium-high bitterness is balanced by low, clean, bready malt. The finish is medium-dry and crisp, leaving a lingering, clean hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth texture and no harshness. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively mouthfeel, accompanied by a very light, smooth alcohol warmth.
