IPA

◎ Appearance

Deliberately hazy with a pale golden hue, the beer displays the characteristic cloudiness of a New England–style IPA. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with moderate retention, leaving soft trails of lacing as you drink. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence beneath the surface.

◌ Aroma

Mango and grapefruit dominate the nose, immediately expressing the beer's tropical and citrus character. Behind these fruit-forward notes lie pine needle and a distinctly sappy, resinous quality that anchors the aromatic profile. The oat and pale malts contribute a subtle sweetness that frames without overwhelming the hop expression.

◐ Taste

The oat malt provides a soft, slightly chewy body that carries the hop oils smoothly across the palate. Bitterness builds steadily through the mid-palate at 40 IBU—enough to define structure without stripping away the fruit character. The interplay between tropical fruitiness and piney, resinous notes sustains interest without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish dries progressively, emphasizing pine and resin with a moderately long fade. The aftertaste remains clean, leaving no sticky sweetness or harsh astringency.

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.
