Citrus Mistress IPA

◎ Appearance

Bright burnt-orange hue with excellent clarity and lively carbonation. A substantial, cream-colored head forms and clings to the glass with persistence, leaving fine lacework as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent stone fruit character—ripe peach and apricot dominate, followed by fresh citrus notes. Noble hops (Nugget, Citra, Mosaic, Centennial) deliver layers of tropical fruit and grapefruit zest, while the malt base provides subtle caramel undertones without overwhelming the hop profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bright citrus and soft peach notes, transitioning through a balanced malt sweetness in the mid-palate. Grapefruit peel bitterness builds steadily, supported by 80 IBU of clean, resinous hop character; the finish turns dry and decisively bitter without harshness.

◑ Finish

A lingering, dry finish dominated by grapefruit and herbal hop bitterness. The aftertaste remains crisp and erfrischend, with no cloying sweetness or harsh alcohol burn.
