Simple Things DDH IPA

◎ Appearance

Light amber to straw in colour, presenting a bright white head with good retention. A fine, even haze sits throughout the body, characteristic of dry-hopped IPA work, while gentle carbonation rises steadily. The beer presents itself with clarity enough to read through, yet maintains the visual texture expected from this brewing method.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with candied orange peel and stone fruit—melon and peach emerge clearly, supported by delicate floral notes and a restrained pine character. The dry-hopping protocol and five boil additions layer these aromatics into a cohesive, fruit-forward profile without sharpness or harshness. Malt presence remains subtle, allowing hop character to occupy the foreground.

◐ Taste

Pink grapefruit and lychee arrive immediately on the palate, sitting atop a sweet Malz foundation that provides body and roundness. A crisp, sharp bitterness develops mid-palate, cutting through the fruit without dominating. The inclusion of oats and soft water rounds the edges, preventing any astringency and sustaining drinkability across the full measure.

◑ Finish

The finish dries progressively, with bitterness lingering through a long aftertaste. The oat addition and water profile leave no harsh edges, instead delivering a clean, resolving conclusion.
