1887 IPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with light amber undertones, reflecting the moderate SRM of 8. The beer presents excellent clarity with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass as it recedes. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, with a steady stream of fine bubbles visible throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with Columbus hop character: earthy and pungent, with spicy herbal notes and a subtle resinous edge. Beneath the assertive hop profile lies a clean, supportive malt base without prominent sweetness. The overall aromatic impression is sharp and focused, with excellent hop definition despite the moderate 6.2% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and dry, with the Columbus hop bitterness asserting itself immediately at 87 IBU. Mid-palate reveals layers of earthy and herbal hop resin alongside subtle citrus notes, while the underlying Malz provides just enough body to frame the bitterness. The finish remains dry and hoppy throughout, with no residual sweetness masking the clean bitter platform.

◑ Finish

The bitterness lingers with moderate persistence, gradually fading into a clean, dry aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or off-flavors remain—only the clean, spicy echo of the Columbus hop.
