Toasted Oak IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, translucent quality. The head forms quickly and holds with steady lacing down the glass, indicating good protein and hop character. Carbonation appears well-integrated, with a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Delicate floral character from the Goldings and Styrian Goldings hops dominates the nose, with a subtle herbaceous and slightly spicy quality. Beneath the hops, gentle ale malt provides a soft, grainy foundation, while lightly toasted oak adds a whisper of vanilla and cedar wood without overwhelming the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, zesty hop bitterness that settles around moderate levels. Mid-palate reveals a rounded malt sweetness from the ale and wheat base, balanced by the pronounced hoppy character. The toasted oak contributes warmth and a gentle woody spice that integrates smoothly into the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the bitterness gradually fading into a lingering hop character. A subtle oak dryness persists, leaving the mouth pleasantly dry without harshness.
