Beacon is a vibrant American IPA that showcases a modern, tropical-forward profile driven by a heavy-handed blend of Bru-1, Ekuanot, Mosaic, and Citra hops. Fermented with Norwegian Kveik yeast, it presents an expressive bouquet of ripe pineapple, lime zest, and stone fruit. The yeast contributes subtle orange-like esters that complement the hop-heavy character. While the appearance is distinctly hazy, the palate remains focused on a balance of juicy tropical fruit and a clean, supportive malt base. This 7% ale offers a smooth yet firm bitterness that defines the style, resulting in a refreshing, hop-saturated experience with a crisp, dry finish.
Appearance.Medium gold color with a pronounced, persistent white head leaving decorative lacing. The beer displays a characteristic hazy opacity typical of modern interpretations.
Aroma.High intensity dominated by tropical and citrus hop notes. Leading scents of fresh pineapple from Bru-1 and grapefruit from Citra are layered over Mosaic berry and Ekuanot lime undertones. A clean, low grainy-sweet malt scent supports the hops, while Kveik yeast adds light orange esters.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of juicy tropical fruit including papaya and melon. Hop flavor is very high, mirroring the aroma with Mosaic and Citra providing citrus depth. Bitterness is firm and medium-high, balanced by a soft malt backbone. The fermentation is clean with a medium-dry, hop-forward finish.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a notably smooth, almost creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present at 7% ABV, but it remains well-integrated without any harshness or astringency.
