Complot IPA

◎ Appearance

Complot IPA presents an amber body with distinct copper and orange hues, displaying excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality. The head is firm and well-structured, with good retention and lacing that clings to the glass with each sip. Carbonation is lively and visible, contributing to the beer's refreshing visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe and tropical fruit notes—stone fruit and citrus blend seamlessly with hints of pineapple and mango. Behind this fruity foundation lies a subtle pine character layered with herbal and light spice, supported by delicate earthy and floral undertones. The lean pale-malt base provides a clean, neutral backdrop that allows the hop complexity to shine without any yeasty or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is crisp and fruit-forward, with citrus and tropical notes establishing themselves immediately alongside a gentle herbal spice. Mid-palate develops a balanced bitterness—firm yet not aggressive—that integrates well with the fruity character and maintains the beer's clean, drinkable profile. The finish carries persistent hoppy and piney notes with a dry, slightly earthy quality that builds toward the lingering aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and moderately long, with citrus and pine persisting pleasantly without any harsh or astringent edges. A subtle earthy dryness lingers, 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.
