Diversion IPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with good clarity and a modest white head that settles to a thin ring around the rim. The carbonation is visible and steady, giving the beer a lively, refreshing presence in the glass despite its near-zero alcohol content.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe mango and passion fruit, immediately drawing attention to the Polaris and Mosaic hops at work. A subtle citrus thread runs through, with just enough Malz character to anchor the tropical profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

Mango and passion fruit dominate the palate, with a clean, fruity entry that flows into a smooth mid-palate. The Pale Ale and Caramünch malts provide just enough body and subtle sweetness to balance the 60 IBUs, which arrive as a dry, moderate bitterness that doesn't overwhelm. The finish remains crisp and fruit-forward.

◑ Finish

The finish is bright and relatively short, leaving behind a pleasant fruity memory without heavy residual sweetness. The controlled fermentation keeps everything clean and approachable, with no harsh alcohol notes.
