San Gimignano IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale gold with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that settles to a thin collar with steady lacing. The beer shows fine carbonation, evident in a persistent bead that maintains the foam structure throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—lime zest and grapefruit pith—layered beneath tropical stone fruit and pineapple. A floral undertone emerges with time, suggesting noble hop character beneath the fruit-forward presentation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive bitterness balanced by a clean, slightly sweet malt backbone that never overwhelms. Citrus and tropical fruit flavors build through the mid-palate, delivering the full hop expression promised on the nose without harshness or astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with lingering bitterness that fades to a dry, mineral-like quality. A subtle tropical note persists in the aftertaste, inviting the next sip.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
