Lotus IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and a white head that settles to a thin collar with steady retention. Carbonation is visibly active, lifting fine streams through the clear body. The lacing clings to the glass in delicate trails as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with floral and herbal hop character rather than aggressive resin or pine. Fresh citrus zest mingles with a sweet clementine note, creating an inviting top note. Soft, clean malt underpins without oakiness or caramel, allowing the aromatic hops to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with the citrus sweetness from the aroma carrying onto the palate. The body remains light and nimble, preventing any cloying impression despite the fruit notes. Bitterness emerges gradually through the mid-palate and builds toward a dry, lingering finish with floral and citrus-peel hop character.

◑ Finish

The finish is properly bitter with a long aftertaste where floral and citrus-peel hop character persists. Dryness dominates without harshness, inviting the next sip.

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.
