Hoppin Harvest Fresh Hop Ipa

Description

Hoppin' Harvest Fresh Hop IPA by B. Effect Brewery is a captivating New Zealand-style IPA that celebrates the vibrant hop harvest. This beer pours a hazy golden yellow with a dense white head, immediately captivating the senses with its intense hop aromas. The aroma is a burst of ripe citrus fruits, including grapefruit, orange, and tangerine, complemented by floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle. The initial sip reveals a full-bodied IPA with a balanced blend of sweetness and bitterness. Citrus flavors, such as grapefruit, lime, and lemon zest, dominate the palate, while the floral notes from the hops add complexity and freshness. A subtle malt backbone provides a sturdy foundation, allowing the hop character to shine. The bitterness is moderate to high, but it's not overpowering, lingering pleasantly on the palate and creating a crisp and refreshing finish. The medium-bodied, slightly creamy texture balances the bitterness, making this IPA highly drinkable. As the bitterness fades, it leaves behind a refreshing aftertaste of lingering citrus and floral hop notes.
