Nativ IPA

Tap to rate

An American-style IPA bursting with tropical fruit, citrus zest and pine in aroma and flavor, supported by a slightly sweet malt character and tapering to a crisp, dry finish. Sabro, Ekuanot and Simcoe hops, all grown in the United States, shape it. Lost Forty brewed it in collaboration with Nativ Apparel as a tribute to seekers, finders and wanderers.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical stone fruit—mango and peach—layered with bright citrus zest and a distinct piney herbaceousness from the Sabro, Ekuanot and Simcoe hop blend. Beneath the hop-driven character sits a subtle sweet malt foundation that anchors the bouquet without overwhelming the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and immediately hoppy, delivering tropical and citrus notes that transition smoothly across the palate. The mid-palate reveals a slightly sweet malt backbone that provides body and balance, while the piney, herbaceous hop character persists and gradually intensifies. Bitterness builds steadily but remains restrained, finishing dry without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and clean, with lingering pine and citrus notes fading into a pleasant dry aftertaste. No residual sweetness remains; instead, a fine, measured bitterness provides the closing impression.

Tulip glass

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