Tocobaga

◎ Appearance

Tocobaga presents a deep amber to copper hue characteristic of the Red IPA style, with good clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. The carbonation is lively but well-integrated, creating a dynamic visual presence without excessive turbulence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by resinous pine and bright citrus notes from the Citra hops, layered with subtle caramel sweetness and toasted bread crust from the Malz foundation. The Summit hops contribute an assertive herbal bitterness that frames the fruity aromatics without overwhelming them.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced piney and citrus hop character that drives the entry, followed by a mid-palate sweep of caramel and bread crust Malz flavors that add body and warmth. The bitterness from Summit hops builds steadily, finishing with a dry, assertive bite that lingers without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with the hop bitterness gradually receding to reveal subtle toasted bread notes. The aftertaste remains dry and slightly resinous, inviting another sip.
