Vortex IPA

This beer's aroma is of medium pineapple juice with low, pizza dough yeastiness, vanilla bean, button mushrooms and whiskey alcohol notes. This IPA pours a brilliantly clear medium-amber color with a low, ivory head of fine bubbles that clings to the sides of the glass and creates a nice film. The flavor is of caramel cinnamon bread, pine tips and dried apricot. A dry, mouthwatering and chalky finish with piney bitterness leads into a hot, alcoholic heat in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel features medium-low carbonation, medium-low warmth and a slight prickle in the the back of the throat. Overall, this is a malt-forward IPA with intense hop bitterness and hop aromas and flavors that evolve over time.
