The Truth

Birrificio Eastside Brewing
Italy·American IPA
Tap to rate

American IPA, golden and slightly hazy, with a persistent, creamy white head. The aroma is fresh, with pineapple, grapefruit and resin up front and further tropical fruit such as mango behind. Resin and pineapple lead on the palate, and grapefruit emerges as the beer warms. A large share of oats gives a silky feel.

◐ Taste

Resinous pineapple anchors the palate on entry, with grapefruit bitterness becoming more pronounced as the beer warms. A substantial oat bill lends a silky, rounded mouthfeel that carries the citrus and herbal notes through cleanly, while the 40 IBU provides moderate bitterness without harshness.

Tulip glass

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