Very dry and assertively bitter.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 60 Minute IPA
◎ Appearance
Golden amber body with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. A dense, cream-colored head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, lending visual liveliness without aggression.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with bright grapefruit and orange citrus, layered beneath herbal pine and resinous hop character. A clean, neutral malt foundation allows the hop aromatics to shine without competing aromatic noise. The overall impression is fresh, fruited, and inviting.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and dry, with grapefruit and orange flavors establishing themselves immediately on the palate. Mid-palate builds with piney hop bitterness and light malt sweetness in balance, creating a smooth integration rather than sharp edges. The 60-minute hopping schedule delivers restrained yet confident bitterness that lingers without harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and moderately long, with hop bitterness fading to a dry, mineral aftertaste. Refreshing and drinkable, inviting another sip without fatigue.
