Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for La Sagra India
◎ Appearance
La Sagra India pours a vibrant orange, clear and luminous in the glass. The head forms with good density and maintains a stable collar of fine bubbles throughout the pour. Carbonation is brisk and persistent, creating a lively visual presence.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with assertive hop character—grapefruit peel and orange zest dominate the bouquet, backed by a firm malt foundation that grounds the citrus notes. The hop-led profile is clean and defined, with no harsh greenness, allowing the citrus aromatics to remain inviting and fresh.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a fruity, medium-bodied entry of apricot and ripe citrus that carries into the mid-palate. Bitterness builds steadily and becomes pronounced, though it remains integrated and never turns harsh; the malt sweetness provides sufficient counterweight. The finish arrives dry and resinous, with the alcohol sitting comfortably in the background.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and lingering, with resinous hop notes persisting into a dry aftertaste. Alcohol warmth is present but restrained, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of La Sagra India
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
