Incendiary Brewing Company Rise of the Jedi

“Tropical hop aroma; citrus, herbs, green apple, spearmint. Flavor sweeter and mouthfeel heavier than expected, but tropical notes are delightful. Malt backbone helps stand up to these hops. Like lager hop juice.”

“Orange citrus, herbal notes, and a touch of pine create a marmalade-like nose with a hint of rose petal. The floral notes emerge more in the flavor and add a perfume-like fruitiness, with hints of strawberry and melon mixing in. Clean and crisp with a nice bold, but balanced, bitter finish.”

**Aroma:** Citrus and pine hops with some floral notes. The aroma is all about hops, but some bready pils notes and lager sulfur sneak through. Some impressions of coconut. Yeasty nose softens the hops and malt; a bit of alcohol, too. **Flavor:** Lots of chewy hop flavor, but a surprisingly balanced malt body without much sweetness. Pleasant cracker-like malt flavor. Aftertaste is rather resinous and sticky. Strong bitterness finishes the hop story. Clean fermentation. **Overall:** Initial flavors are very enjoyable and pils-like, but the mid- and aftertaste hits hard from the lingering bitterness and alcohol. Very hoppy, with an astringency that hangs on for a long time. A nice display of hop complexity that comes at the cost of malt profile.
