Daura IPA

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a clear amber hue with distinct copper and orange glints under light. The head forms with moderate density and exhibits good retention and lacing, leaving a fine web pattern down the glass. Carbonation is lively and visible throughout, contributing to a clean, inviting presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by bright, ripe stone fruit and tropical character, particularly peach and mango, backed by a fresh citrus lift from the Citra and Mosaic hops. A gentle pine and herbal spice underscore the fruity foundation, with the pale malts providing a subtle, understated backbone that does not compete with the hop expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, delivering the promise of the aroma through continued tropical and citrus notes. The mid-palate shows a lean, dry malt structure that allows the Summit, Citra, and Simcoe to define the beer's character, with a touch of spice adding complexity. Bitterness builds steadily and holds firm through the finish, persistent without becoming harsh or astringent.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the bitterness extending well into the aftertaste. Pine and citrus notes fade gradually, leaving a clean, slightly resinous impression that invites another 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.
