Espiga Papr´ IPA

This collaboration between Espiga and vandeStreek delivers a creative twist on the American IPA, merging bright hop character with the savory depth of smoked paprika. The sensory journey begins with an aromatic interplay of resinous pine and citrus hops underscored by a distinct, earthy smokiness from the peppers. A robust toasted malt backbone provides a solid foundation for the aggressive bitterness typical of the style. The finish is strikingly dry, leaving a lingering trail of gentle spice and woodsmoke. It is an assertive, complex ale where the specialty ingredient enhances rather than overshadows the core hop-driven profile.
