Cold IPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright transparency and lively carbonation throughout. The white head forms with moderate density and recedes to a thin collar, leaving fine lacing on the glass. The overall impression is clean and inviting, characteristic of the crisp lager-like presentation this style pursues.

◌ Aroma

Krush and Strata hops present a striking aromatics profile of stone fruit and melon, with prominent peach and cantaloupe notes layered over bright citrus. A subtle floral quality underpins the hop character, while the malted barley and flaked barley contribute a clean, bready foundation without heaviness. The nose is crisp and inviting, with no harsh or vegetal undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens dry and refreshing, with the peach and citrus character from the aroma translating cleanly to the taste. Moderate bitterness (31 IBU) integrates seamlessly rather than dominating, providing balance without astringency. The body remains light and crisp, with the acidulated malt contributing subtle tartness that enhances the lager-like dryness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, lingering briefly with gentle citrus notes and a subtle mineral quality. No residual sweetness remains, reinforcing the lager-like character that defines this cold IPA approach.
