La Filature IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a white head that maintains fine lacing down the glass. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, lending the beer a vibrant, crisp visual presence that signals the hop-forward character to follow.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and tropical stone fruit notes—orange zest and papaya—layered over a resinous pine backbone. Clean fermentation allows the Edelhopfen character to shine without obstruction, creating an inviting and cohesive hop profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with citrus and tropical notes developing immediately on the palate. Mid-palate reveals a light malt foundation supporting the resinous, piney hop bitterness, which builds steadily without overwhelming. The finish is dry and bitter, leaving a lingering hop character that remains refreshing throughout.

◑ Finish

A clean, bitter aftertaste persists with lingering notes of pine resin and subtle citrus. The finish is refreshing and leaves no cloying sweetness—entirely characteristic of a well-executed American IPA.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
