◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive citrus and tropical fruit aromatics—notes of orange zest, grapefruit, and stone fruit emerge prominently. Behind the hops lie subtle floral undertones and a clean, dry malt backbone that frames the bouquet without dominating it.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with a wave of citrus bitterness that unfolds gradually across the mid-palate. The tropical fruit character persists through the center, supported by a light, slightly sweet malted base that keeps the beer balanced and refreshing rather than harsh or one-dimensional.

Tulip glass

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

What is a American IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
