American IPA 6 º

VNDL

Vendale La Pref is a vibrant American IPA that emphasizes modern hop expression over aggressive bite. At 6% ABV, it showcases a generous dry hop addition, radiating intense New World aromatics characterized by tropical fruit and bright citrus. The sensory profile is defined by a soft bitterness—approachable yet firm enough to balance the lean, grainy malt base. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, allowing the floral and fruity hop oils to remain the focus from the initial aroma through to the dry, crisp finish. This is a contemporary take on the style that prioritizes aromatic depth and drinkability over palate-crushing bitterness.

Appearance. Medium gold to light amber in color (8-11 SRM). Clear to brilliant clarity, though a very slight haze from the dry hop addition is permissible. Features a persistent, medium-sized white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High aromatic intensity. Dominated by New World hop characteristics including mango, passion fruit, and grapefruit zest. Supported by a low, clean, grainy-sweet malt profile. Fermentation is clean with very low fruity esters and no diacetyl.

Taste. High hop flavor echoing the aroma's tropical and citrus notes. The malt provides a low, supportive grainy-sweet foundation. Bitterness is moderate, perceived as soft and well-integrated rather than harsh. The balance is firmly hop-forward, leading to a dry, clean finish with a lingering fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp sensation. A very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present but subtle.
