Little Bling

◎ Appearance

Little Bling presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The carbonation is crisp and lively, with steady streams of small bubbles rising through the body. Lacing clings to the glass with each sip, leaving clean trails against the walls.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—bright orange peel and grapefruit zest cut through clearly, backed by the noble hop character of Amarillo, Citra and Simcoe. A delicate stone-fruit undertone emerges beneath, while the caramel and crystal malts add a subtle sweetness that does not dominate but anchors the aroma.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hop-driven, with the citrus character translating cleanly to the palate. The mid-palate reveals a thin caramel line that balances the assertive 35 IBU bitterness, which reads more pronounced than the 3.4% ABV might suggest. Malt sweetness and hop bite sit in equilibrium, creating tension without overstepping.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and dry, with the bitterness fading swiftly and leaving behind a clean, refreshing aftertaste. No cloying sweetness lingers; instead, the palate is reset with a light, crisp sensation.

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.
