Very dry and assertively bitter.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hopulent IPA
◎ Appearance
Hopulent presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head is persistent and well-retained, leaving distinct lacing on the glass as you drink through.
◌ Aroma
The nose is immediately hop-forward, dominated by tropical mango and bright citrus notes from the Citra and Mosaic varieties. Pine and resinous undertones emerge as the beer warms, layered over a subtle caramel malt sweetness.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with clean citrus and tropical fruit, supported by a solid caramel malt backbone that provides body without overwhelming sweetness. Bitterness builds gradually through the mid-palate, finishing with a dry, piney character that lingers pleasantly.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and clean, with lingering hop bitterness and pine notes that fade to a dry aftertaste. No cloying sweetness remains.
