Craft IPA
A golden straw ale with a persistent lacing head that signals a well-structured brew. The nose opens with floral hop character—clean and inviting—backed by a subtle malt foundation that keeps the aroma grounded. On the palate, caramelized malt tones emerge alongside balanced bittering hops that neither dominate nor fade; the result is a medium-bodied frame that feels approachable despite the hop presence. The finish extends with a satisfying length, leaving the floral notes to linger. At 3.6%, this is a sessionable take on American IPA, lighter in alcohol but not in personality—ideal for an afternoon when you want hop character without heaviness.
