Incendiary Brewing Company Kold IPA

“Soft bright haze. Tightly woven orange and vanilla notes on the nose. Surprising dash of bitterness greets you in the front of the sip. Orange peel, a touch of pith, grapefruit. Lack of depth on the finish with the citrus-hop notes rising above a soft and disappearing malt structure.”

“Subdued aroma of mild orange peel, soft pine resin, guava, light pilsner malt sweetness. The flavor continues the same trajectory with biscuit and pie crust, black pepper, anise, grapefruit peel, light resin, and grass. Malt sweetness helps showcase bitterness in the finish.”

**Aroma:** “Hops character is very prominent. Nice juicy fruity (orange and grapefruit) notes, some pine, and some malt sweetness. Faint breadiness.” **Flavor:** “Some juicy grapefruit character and orange citrus notes. Serious hops flavor and bitter edge make a strong hoppy assertion. The bitterness lingers strongly into the finish and contributes a mild astringency, but the hops flavor sticks around to keep it company. There’s enough malt sweetness to remind you that it’s beer and not hops tea.” **Overall:** “Big hops and everything you’d expect from a IPA, although I’d prefer a little more competition from the malt and a richer mouthfeel. Pretty spot on for the style.”
