Very dry and assertively bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Lost Forty Free Climb IPA
◎ Appearance
Light golden hue with bright clarity and excellent transparency. A persistent white head forms on the pour and clings to the glass with fine lacing as the beer descends. Lively carbonation creates a steady stream of fine bubbles from the base.
◌ Aroma
Citrus and tropical fruit dominate the nose, with pronounced grapefruit and orange zest supported by hints of mango and pineapple. A gentle floral undertone emerges beneath the hops, while clean malt provides a subtle foundation. The overall impression is crisp and inviting, free of any oxidative or harsh solvent notes.
◐ Taste
Entry is clean and bright, with citrus and tropical fruit flavors building immediately on the palate. Mid-palate reveals balanced malt sweetness that supports rather than dominates, allowing the hop character to remain in focus. A firm, well-integrated bitterness (60 IBUs) develops steadily and holds through the swallow without sharpness.
◑ Finish
Medium-length finish with lingering citrus and a dry, refreshing farewell. Bitterness recedes gracefully, leaving a crisp, quenching sensation on the palate.
