Grapefruit Lollihop

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity, allowing light to pass through with ease. A generous white head sits atop, displaying fine retention and leaving delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. The carbonation is lively and visible, contributing to the beer's fresh and inviting visual character.

◌ Aroma

Grapefruit peel leads the bouquet with assertive citrus character, softened by complementary notes of orange and tropical fruit. The Citra and Mosaic hops underscore the citrus profile, adding brightness and complexity to the nose. No harsh herbaceous edges; the aroma remains balanced and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy citrus notes that mirror the aroma, followed by a distinctive interplay between grapefruit peel's dry bitterness and the sweetness of grapefruit pulp. The 60 IBU bitterness is present and pronounced without overwhelming the underlying hop-derived juiciness. Mid-palate reveals crisp, slightly piney undertones that define the West Coast IPA tradition.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the grapefruit bitterness persisting into the aftertaste. A moderate drying sensation leaves the palate clean and inviting another sip.
