The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Evergreen
◎ Appearance
Evergreen presents a pale golden hue characteristic of the West Coast IPA style. The beer displays excellent clarity with bright, clean transparency and forms a white head that maintains steady retention and lacing. Carbonation appears crisp and well-integrated, with fine bubbles rising steadily.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by resinous hop character, with Citra Cryo delivering concentrated citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit—without the leafy green quality of whole pellets. Simcoe contributes a distinctive pine and piney resin backdrop, grounding the bright citrus elements. A clean malt foundation supports the aromatic profile without intrusive grain or yeast notes.
◐ Taste
The palate opens crisp and dry, with citrus notes from Citra Cryo following immediately into resinous, piney mid-palate complexity supplied by Simcoe. Bitterness is present and well-integrated, neither sharp nor lingering aggressively, balancing the dry character throughout. The malt provides minimal sweetness, allowing hop expression to dominate cleanly without astringency.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and relatively short, trailing off cleanly with residual piney and citrus notes fading gracefully. A light resinous aftertaste persists briefly without becoming sticky or cloying.
