WeynesHOP Brewery

This award-winning Black IPA masterfully bridges the gap between deep, dark malts and vibrant New World hops. A foundation of Magnum provides a clean, firm bitterness that supports a lush aromatic profile driven by Citra. Expect a sensory collision of bright grapefruit and tropical fruit notes against a backdrop of mild roasted coffee and cocoa. The use of Citra ensures the citrus character remains at the forefront, while the dark malts provide color and a smooth, toasty complexity without the heavy astringency of a stout. It is refreshingly drinkable, finishing dry and crisp with a harmonious balance of roast and resin.

Appearance. Deep ebony to opaque black (35-40 SRM). Features a persistent, creamy light tan head with excellent lacing. Generally clear, though a very faint haze from heavy dry-hopping may be visible.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by fresh grapefruit, lime zest, and tropical passion fruit from Citra hops. Low to moderate malt profile with notes of cold-brew coffee, dark chocolate, and toasted bread. Clean fermentation with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression of bright citrus and melon hop flavors, followed by a restrained, smooth roasted malt character. Notes of coffee and cocoa are present but never ashy or burnt. High bitterness from Magnum hops provides a crisp, firm structure. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering citrus and light toast aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, almost velvety texture. Moderate carbonation provides a refreshing lift. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, with no harsh astringency from the roasted grains.
