Maracuyá IPA (Passion Fruit)

A cream colored lacing grips the side of your glass as a copper color refracts through this rich IPA. Sweet and tart aromas of maracuyá (passion fruit) pair beautifully with carefully selected hops to produce a warm citrus fruit nose. First sips will bring a burst of hop bitterness trailed by a firm malt backbone that enlivens the palate and remains only momentarily. Finish is clean and balanced and a medium body is somewhat less filling and allows for continued enjoyment. Salud!
