Supercharger #1

◎ Appearance

Supercharger #1 presents a pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation visible as fine streams throughout the glass. The head is compact and persistent, leaving fine lacing on the glass walls as it settles. The overall impression is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-carbonated, session-strength IPA.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with the distinctive tropical character of Strata hops—pineapple and passionfruit notes dominate, layered with subtle lime and stone fruit. Beneath the fruit sits a light, clean malt base with a hint of bready sweetness. The aromatic profile is bright and forward, with no harsh solvent notes despite the hop-forward design.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and juicy, with passionfruit and tropical stone fruit arriving immediately on the palate. The mid-palate carries a smooth, slightly sweet malt body that supports rather than competes with the fruit character. Bitterness arrives in the back, measured at 60 IBU, lending structure and a subtle herbal edge without overwhelming the delicate fruit balance.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering passionfruit notes fading into a gentle herbal bitterness. The aftertaste remains refreshing and inviting, encouraging another sip.
