ALD IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent transparency, reflecting the single Pilsner malt base. A bright white head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively but restrained, appropriate for the beer's moderate strength.

◌ Aroma

Citra, Chinook and Mosaic hops deliver a compelling display of fresh-cut grass, bright citrus peel and ripe stonefruit—predominantly peach and apricot. The Pilsner malt base remains clean and understated, allowing the hop character to dominate without floral or resinous excess. No yeast-derived esters distract from the herbaceous and stone-fruit complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and herbaceous, with immediate citrus zest and a gentle stonefruit sweetness balancing the restrained malt body. The mid-palate maintains herbaceous tension without harshness; the 60 IBU bitterness sits comfortably in the background, dry and supportive rather than aggressive. At 4.5% ABV, the beer achieves satisfying hop expression without heavy alcohol or cloying residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, tapering gracefully into a dry, grassy aftertaste. Lingering citrus and herb notes fade steadily, leaving no harsh residue.
