Bacho IPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright transparency and lively carbonation. The head forms quickly and maintains a fine, persistent collar with delicate lacing on the glass. Clean presentation throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with restrained stone fruit and citrus notes—peach and subtle grapefruit—layered beneath a floral undertone that avoids heaviness. Herbal and perfumed rather than assertive, with a whisper of bready malt in the background that grounds the composition without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with hop-forward citrus immediately apparent. The mid-palate shows balanced fruity character without excess sweetness, while bitterness arrives measured and refined—60 IBU felt more as mineral dryness than aggression. The malt backbone remains subtle, allowing the hop profile to shine without becoming harsh.

◑ Finish

Dry and refreshing, with lingering citrus notes fading into a light herbal bite. The aftertaste remains clean and crisp, encouraging another sip.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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