Espiga Making Friends

Making Friends is a vibrant American IPA that emphasizes a lush, modern hop profile. The appearance is distinctively cloudy and yellowish, signaling a soft, juice-forward experience. The heavy double dry hopping with Simcoe and Mosaic introduces intense layers of tropical fruit and ripe stone fruit, while Hallertau Blanc adds delicate nuances of white fruit and grape. This combination creates a complex bouquet where the fruity notes harmonize with a clean, supportive malt base. It balances a firm bitterness with a refreshing, fruit-laden finish, making it a highly drinkable and expressive example of contemporary brewing artistry that prioritizes hop aromatics over aggressive bite.
