Hope American IPA

Tap to rate

A top-fermented American IPA in deep gold, hopped with Mosaic, Simcoe and Ahtanum. Tropical fruit and citrus dominate the aroma. On the palate the hops stay in front; their pronounced bitterness is held in check by the malt, and the finish is dry and resinous. Of the three beers in the Hope line it is the strongest and the most bitter.

◐ Taste

Hops dominate the palate with pronounced bitterness and citrus bite, yet the Malz backbone provides sufficient sweetness and body to keep the beer balanced. The mid-palate is clean and medium-bodied, allowing the hop character to stay in front without becoming harsh.

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