Interstellar IPA

◎ Appearance

Interstellar IPA presents a bright golden hue with moderate clarity and a light, fine-grained head that fades steadily. The carbonation is crisp and visible, rising in steady streams. A delicate Schaumkleiden clings to the glass as the beer settles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with citrus notes—fresh lemon and bitter orange peel—layered with stone fruit character from the Amarillo and Motueka hops. A subtle tropical fringe emerges on closer inspection, while the Citra contribution adds brightness without sharpness. The Malz base remains restrained, allowing the hop complexity to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with immediate citrus bite and peach-like stone fruit sweetness. Mid-palate maintains a balanced interplay between bitter resin and subtle floral notes, with the stone fruit character providing roundness. The 60 IBU bitterness is moderate and clean, fading to a dry finish without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium in length, drying cleanly on the palate with a lingering citrus note. No harsh aftertaste remains, leaving the mouth refreshed and ready for the next sip.
