Dry and assertively bitter.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Crafty Devil IPA
◎ Appearance
Golden amber hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation throughout. A dense, cream-colored head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving distinct lacing with each sip.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with assertive citrus notes—grapefruit and orange zest—layered over a clean, herbal hop foundation. Subtle stone fruit emerges in the background, while a light, crisp malt base grounds the profile without dominating.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with vibrant citrus and pine on entry, followed by a juicy mid-palate with stone fruit character. Moderate bitterness (60 IBU) arrives cleanly in the center and builds steadily, balanced by a restrained malt sweetness that never overwhelms the hop-forward character.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and drying, with lingering citrus and herbal hop bitterness that fades gracefully. Refreshing without harshness, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.
