Octavo Arte HOPS NOT COPS

This American IPA is a vibrant expression of the West Coast substyle, showcasing the classic hop duo of Mosaic and Citra. A bright sensory profile leads with pungent tropical aromas of mango and ripe blueberry driven by Mosaic, while Citra provides sharp citrus notes of grapefruit zest. The malt presence is intentionally restrained, offering a clean, cracker-like foundation that allows the hop character to dominate. A firm, resinous bitterness provides the characteristic bite promised by its name, cutting through the palate and leading to a crisp, bone-dry finish with a lingering, hoppy aftertaste that emphasizes the beer's refreshing, bitter-forward balance.
