Session IPA 4.7 º 20 IBU

VNDL

Vendale Fausse Patte presents as a bright, refreshing take on the American IPA style, showcasing a vibrant interplay of modern hops. The dry-hop addition of Ekuanot brings complex layers of zesty lime, herbal sage, and a hint of eucalyptus, while Idaho 7 contributes deep notes of sticky pine resin, ripe mango, and stone fruit. This sessionable ale balances its assertive, spicy hop character against a lean, crackery malt base. The experience is defined by a clean fermentation profile and a sharp, refreshing bitterness that lingers briefly, making it an approachable yet intensely aromatic choice for hop enthusiasts seeking a lighter ABV profile.

Appearance. Color ranges from medium gold to light copper (7-9 SRM). It displays a slight haze from the dry-hopping process, topped by a persistent, medium-sized white head with fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring prominent notes of tropical fruit (mango, pineapple) and stone fruit from the Idaho 7. These are layered with Ekuanot's distinctive spicy, herbal, and lime zest nuances. A very low, clean, grainy-sweet maltiness supports the hops. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. High hop flavor following the aroma with notes of resinous pine, grapefruit, and apricot. Medium-high bitterness is clean and well-integrated. The malt provides a low-intensity, bready background that allows the hop spice and fruit to lead. The finish is dry, leaving a crisp, hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. There is no alcohol warmth, resulting in high drinkability.
