F5 IPA

◎ Appearance

Medium gold with excellent clarity and fine carbonation that produces a bright, effervescent presentation. The head forms with good density and displays stable lacing as the beer is consumed, indicating proper foam retention and a well-balanced carbonation level.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bold citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel—layered over a pronounced pine character from the Edelhopfen selection. Supporting malt provides a clean foundation without sweetness, allowing the hop aromatics to dominate with an herbaceous, resinous quality that defines the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp citrus and pine hop flavors that build into a firm, well-integrated bitterness in the mid-palate. The malt backbone remains lean and dry, offering minimal residual sweetness and allowing the bitter, hoppy character to finish clean without astringency or harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the bitterness gradually receding to reveal lingering citrus and resinous hop character. The aftertaste remains clean and crisp with no cloying sweetness, inviting another sip.
