Northern Lights IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and fine carbonation evident throughout. A dense, creamy head forms on the pour and maintains good lacing down the glass, characteristic of the lager-influenced brewing approach.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit and tropical notes—honeydew and papaya blend seamlessly with white tea and honeysuckle florals. A subtle citrus backbone of pink grapefruit emerges alongside delicate Riesling-like character, while the Malz foundation remains restrained, allowing the late-addition Edelhopfen to dominate.

◐ Taste

The palate opens juicy and soft despite 43 IBU, with honeyed maltiness providing a light, clean foundation. Citrus and tropical hop character builds through the mid-palate—grapefruit and papaya notes dance over delicate floral undertones—while bitterness remains gentle and integrated rather than assertive, finishing crisp without harshness.

◑ Finish

Clean, dry finish with lingering citrus and subtle honeysuckle notes fading gently. The refreshing quality persists without astringency, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
