The Stonewall Inn IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. The beer displays bright carbonation that generates steady streams of bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus notes of lemon peel and fresh grapefruit zest, characteristic of the Citra hop variety. Beneath these aromatics lies a light, pale malt foundation with subtle bread-like notes that provide gentle support without obscuring the hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp citrus flavors that mirror the aroma, supported by a clean, pale malt sweetness. The bitterness is restrained and well-integrated, allowing the delicate hop character to remain prominent while maintaining balance in this light-bodied session format.

◑ Finish

The beer concludes with a dry finish that leaves a lingering citrus character on the palate. The aftertaste is crisp and refreshing, with the grapefruit and lemon notes extending the drinking experience.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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