Hop Ride IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. The head forms with moderate density and exhibits good retention, leaving delicate lacing on the glass as it recedes. Fine carbonation creates a lively, effervescent presentation throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced floral and herbal hop character, layered with subtle citrus notes—primarily orange zest and grapefruit. Clean malt backbone provides a light, sweet grain foundation without dominating. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh alcohol heat or rough edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with balanced bitterness that registers as almost sweet rather than aggressive—a hallmark of thoughtful hop integration at 60 IBU. Mid-palate shows integrated citrus and floral hop flavors alongside a dry malt spine. The bitterness lingers gently without becoming astringent, maintaining drinkability throughout.

◑ Finish

Finish is crisp and relatively short, fading to a dry, slightly bitter afterglow. Lingering hop bitterness recedes steadily without leaving harshness, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
