Clad

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue with excellent clarity and a resilient off-white head that leaves fine lacing down the glass. Carbonation is lively and sustained, creating a bright, inviting visual presence. The 8 SRM positions this firmly in the red IPA range with a warm, burnished glow.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent berry notes—berry preserves and red fruit—layered over subtle tropical fruit character from the Ekuanot and Mosaic hops. Beneath lies a gentle resinous quality with hints of pine and herbal spice. The Malz backbone adds a soft, grain-forward sweetness without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and mellow, with berry and pineapple leading on the palate. A balanced blend of malt—barley, wheat, and oats—provides body and roundness, while the resinous hop character emerges gradually mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained at 60 IBU, offering pleasant complexity without harshness; citrus notes linger quietly beneath the primary fruit expression.

◑ Finish

The finish fades gracefully with lingering berry and a light resinous dryness. Aftertaste remains approachable and smooth, with no astringency despite the hop character.
