Babyface Nelson IPA: A Hop-Lover's Delight Hailing from the renowned Bootleg Brewery, the Babyface Nelson IPA is a true gem for hop enthusiasts. This American IPA boasts a vibrant, hazy golden hue, topped with a frothy white head that leaves a delightful lacing on the glass. The aroma is a burst of citrus and tropical fruit notes, with grapefruit, orange, pineapple, mango, and passionfruit taking center stage. Hints of pine resin and floral hop aromas add a layer of complexity, creating a captivating olfactory experience. On the palate, the Babyface Nelson IPA is juicy and flavorful. The tropical fruit flavors from the aroma carry over, joined by a balancing bitterness from the hops. Grapefruit pith and zest dominate, supported by notes of orange peel, mango, and pineapple. The hop character adds a refreshing bitterness and a hint of pine, creating a well-rounded and sessionable IPA. The medium-bodied mouthfeel and subtle acidity enhance the fruitiness and complement the hop bitterness, resulting in a delightfully balanced and refreshing beer.
