Ecliptic Brewing Ice Giant Cold IPA

“Fruit-forward aroma—pineapple, tangerine, mango, hints of cherry, lemongrass. Taste raises the volume on citrus, adding some clean grapefruit. Clean, smooth bitterness. A touch of alcohol warmth plays nicely with deep hop flavor. Moderate sweetness lingers into the finish.”

“Bright and fresh orange, melon, and tropical fruit, backed with subtle cracker malt, overlay a distant pine note. Hints at a juicy-leaning version, but the assertive, pleasurable bitterness is convincingly Western. Light dankness creeps in at the finish. Clean and crisp, it hits all the notes, even if they’re fleeting.”

“Dank, woody pine notes in the aroma give you a preview of what is to come. Gloriously bitter resiny pine hits the tongue directly and unapologetically, with a bit of herbal skunkiness and some light crystal malt to balance, but not distract you from the star of the show: hops. Bright bitterness passes off the tongue quickly. Exactly what cold IPA should be.”
