Evil Eye

◎ Appearance

Evil Eye presents a hazy golden-orange body characteristic of a well-executed American IPA. The cloudiness suggests active hop and grain suspension rather than yeast sediment. A dense, persistent head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine lacing throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bold citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel dominate the foreground, supported by a fresh-cut grass character and underlying pine resin. Beneath these hop aromatics lies a subtle sweet malt foundation that prevents the profile from becoming one-dimensional, while Chinook and Amarillo varieties contribute their characteristic spice and brightness.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp with immediate sweet malt presence from barley and Vienna malt, quickly giving way to a pronounced hop bitterness that builds steadily across the palate. The mid-palate balances pineapple and grapefruit fruit character against firm bitterness at 60 IBU, while a grassy, piney dryness persists without becoming astringent. The 7.2% ABV remains well-integrated, never hot or obvious.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long, with bitterness and herbal dryness lingering pleasantly on the palate. Aftertaste preserves the grapefruit and pine notes without harshness.
