Neck Oil presents a bright, pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a crisp white head that dissipates at a moderate pace. The vibrant carbonation is evident from the steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the glass, creating an inviting and refreshing visual presentation.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by punchy citrus and grapefruit notes from the American hop blend, complemented by subtle pine and herbal undertones. British hop character adds a touch of floral complexity without overwhelming the fresh, clean aromatic profile that defines this session IPA.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with bright citrus and grapefruit flavors backed by a crisp, clean bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. The light body allows the hop character to shine while maintaining excellent drinkability, with just enough herbal and piney notes to round out the flavor complexity without heaviness.
◑ Finish
A lingering hoppy bitterness extends into a dry, clean finish that invites the next sip. The aftertaste is refreshing and hoppy, with no sticky sweetness—the perfect conclusion for easy, sessionable drinking.
