🌍 United States · San Diego IPA · One of 1 San Diego IPAs in hopIQ

A modern San Diego IPA that rides the line between West Coast structure and hazy-era juice. Big tropical fruit and citrus hop aromatics, a bready malt base for support, and a moderate bitterness on the finish — enough to feel West Coast, not enough to bruise. Aurora is Karl Strauss showing off what San Diego does best in 2020s form.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
