American IPA 6 º

Zeta Beer

This polished American IPA captures the essence of the West Coast with a vibrant, citrus-forward profile driven by an intensive double dry-hopping. Brimming with 35g/l of hops, it offers a refined sensory experience where sharp grapefruit and resinous pine notes from Chinook and Centennial meet the complex tropical berry and stone fruit facets of Mosaic. The use of Cryo Mosaic and TRI2304CRBLEND sharpens the aromatic impact, resulting in a brilliantly executed beer. It balances intense hop aromatics with a clean, supportive malt backbone and a crisp, refreshing finish that emphasizes both aromatic depth and high drinkability.

Appearance. Color is a deep medium gold (SRM 7) with brilliant clarity. It supports a medium-sized, off-white head with excellent persistence and intricate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of grapefruit zest, lemon, and fresh pine needles. Secondary layers of blueberry, mango, and tropical stone fruit emerge from the Mosaic additions. Malt presence is low and clean, providing a slight grainy-sweet background without any caramel. Fermentation is neutral.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-dominant, delivering flavors of citrus peel and resinous pine. The mid-palate introduces tropical fruit complexities. Bitterness is medium-high to firm, consistent with the West Coast style but polished and without harshness. Low grainy-bread malt flavor supports the hop intensity. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, clean hoppy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, enhancing the refreshing quality of the beer. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated at 6% ABV.
