Spree Coast IPA

◎ Appearance

Sand-orange hue fills the glass with brilliant clarity and a pale golden luminosity characteristic of the West Coast style. A modest white head forms on the pour and maintains a delicate presence atop the beer, leaving fine trails of lacing as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus—ripe orange, mandarin, and pomelo—layered with honeydew melon notes that suggest a balanced, fruit-forward hop profile. A subtle resinous undertone emerges beneath the citrus, hinting at the bittering hops to come, while the overall impression remains refreshing and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and soft, allowing the citrus character to bloom initially with refreshing, almost smoothie-like brightness. The mid-palate gradually shifts as resinous bitterness builds steadily, layering pine and herbal notes from the Cascade, Centennial, and Crystal hops without overwhelming the citrus foundation. The finish is dry and moderately bitter, with the 75 IBU asserting itself cleanly.

◑ Finish

The bitterness persists with patient, measured intensity, inviting the next sip rather than demanding it. A lingering dry sensation frames the aftertaste, leaving a pleasant resinous dryness on the palate.
