This flagship American IPA from UnBarred Brewery delivers a classic West Coast experience with a bright, assertive sensory profile. Potent aromas of resinous pine and sharp citrus zest lead the charge, driven by a punchy selection of American hops. On the palate, a clean, grainy malt backbone provides just enough support for the firm hop bitterness to shine without overwhelming the senses. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, leaving a lingering trail of grapefruit peel and forest floor. At 5.5% ABV, it balances high drinkability with the bold, hop-forward character expected of the style, showcasing a pristine fermentation profile.
Appearance.Deep gold to light amber in color with brilliant clarity. Features a medium-sized, persistent white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by fresh pine resin, grapefruit, and orange peel. A low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness supports the hops, alongside a neutral fermentation profile free of esters.
Taste.Strong citrus and pine hop flavors lead into a medium-high bitterness. The malt character is low but present as a clean, slightly toasted base. Finishes very dry and crisp with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste of pithy citrus.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a refreshing bite, with very subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
