Proclamation's original IPA — a soft mouthfeel with dominating notes of orange and grapefruit from Citra, Centennial, and Comet hops. Dangerously crushable and refreshing for its strength, and the beer the whole Proclamation lineup grew from.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with juicy citrus flavors expanding across the mid-palate—orange and grapefruit persist alongside a gentle, dry bitterness that builds gradually rather than immediately. The body remains light and crisp, with moderate hop bitterness balancing the restrained malt sweetness.

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.
