Very dry and assertively bitter.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Uppercut IPA
◎ Appearance
Uppercut presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. The white head builds to moderate height and clings to the glass with distinct lacing as you drink, a hallmark of proper conditioning and adequate protein content in the malt bill.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with assertive American hop aromatics—bright grapefruit and orange peel dominate, layered with subtle pine and resin notes. A clean, neutral malt base allows the hops to shine without interference, while the dry-hopping technique intensifies the citrus presence and delivers a characteristic fresh, grassy snap.
◐ Taste
Entry is crisp and immediately hop-forward, with citrus notes tracking cleanly across the palate. The mid-palate sustains dry, bitter qualities balanced by restrained malt sweetness, while the alcohol sits discreetly at 7.2% ABV. The finish builds toward a pronounced, lingering bitterness that defines the beer's character without becoming harsh.
◑ Finish
Bitterness persists firmly into the aftertaste, marking Uppercut as a beer that makes no apology for its resinous, uncompromising nature. The dry conclusion invites another sip.
