Mediterranean IPA

◎ Appearance

Pours a brilliant honey gold with excellent clarity and a compact, long-lasting white head that clings persistently to the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating fine streams of bubbles that sustain the foam structure throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The dry-hopped character dominates immediately with intensely fresh notes of tropical fruit—mango and passion fruit—layered over bright citrus zest and gentle pine resin. Beneath the hops, selected malts contribute a soft, biscuited sweetness that grounds the aromatic profile without overriding the vibrant hop expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, resinous attack from American hop varieties, followed by waves of tropical and citrus character across the mid-palate. A balanced bitterness—restrained but present at 60 IBU—integrates smoothly with the supporting malt backbone, allowing both elements to dialogue rather than compete.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with lingering citrus and pine notes fading gradually over a medium-length aftertaste. The residual bitterness remains present but never harsh, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.

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.
