Hop Nosh is a quintessential American IPA that showcases a masterful balance between aggressive West Coast intensity and a sturdy malt backbone. At 7.3% ABV, the sensory journey begins with an assertive aromatic profile dominated by pungent pine resin and vibrant lime zest, rounded out by classic grapefruit citrus. While the hops command attention, the use of caramel malts introduces a subtle toasted sweetness that provides a necessary counterpoint to the firm bitterness. This interplay ensures a complex experience, transitioning from bright, citrus-forward notes to a clean, resinous finish. It perfectly captures the style’s intent, offering a bold hop expression supported by a refined, bready structure.
Appearance.Deep gold to medium copper (approximately 10-12 SRM). Excellent clarity with a medium-sized, off-white head that exhibits strong persistence and significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring dominant notes of resinous pine, sharp lime zest, and pithy grapefruit. A moderate, clean maltiness provides a supportive background of light caramel and toasted bread. Fermentation is clean with no detectable esters.
Taste.Initial impression is a punch of citrus and woodsy pine. Medium-low caramel malt sweetness provides a brief balance before a firm, assertive hop bitterness takes over. Flavors of grapefruit peel and resinous hops linger into a medium-dry, crisp finish. The aftertaste is long and clean with a pleasant hoppy bite.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, slightly oily texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp mouthfeel. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but smooth.
