Libertas India Pale Ale 14

◎ Appearance

Golden to copper hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with distinct lacing. The body shows moderate density and bright carbonation that catches the light with fine bubbles ascending steadily.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive American hop character—citrus zest and pine resin dominate, with undertones of herbal complexity from Willamette. A light, clean malt foundation provides subtle sweetness without intrruding on the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with citrus and resinous hop flavors taking immediate command on the palate. The mid-palate maintains a lean, dry malt body that never becomes sweet, while bittering compounds build steadily into a lingering, well-defined hop bite that defines the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is notably dry and mineral, with hop bitterness and pine notes persisting long after swallowing. A clean, gripping aftertaste leaves no residual sweetness.
