In my Face

Tap to rate

Grapefruit, lime, white grape, gooseberry, mango and berries shape In my Face, a dry West Coast IPA with a clear, elegant bitterness. Citra BBC, Nelson Sauvin T90 and Mosaic T90 are double dry-hopped here, and barley, wheat and oat malt give the 6.8% ABV beer its structure, from an original gravity of 16 °P.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes—prominent grapefruit and lime—layered with tropical fruit nuances of mango and white grape. Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic contribute subtle herbal and stone-fruit complexity, while a clean, dry character keeps the profile focused. Bready, grainy notes from the barley-wheat-oat base provide a gentle backdrop without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with immediate citrus bite from the double dry-hopping technique. The mid-palate balances fruity esters—gooseberry, mango, and berries—against a structured, elegant bitterness that sits comfortably at 60 IBU. The malt foundation of barley, wheat, and oat provides subtle sweetness and body without muddying the hop-forward profile.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
