Scone Maris Hopping

This brilliant golden American IPA, titled Maris Hopping, focuses on aromatic intensity rather than the style's traditional sharp bitterness. The heavy use of Mosaic hops delivers a vibrant sensory profile of mango, lemon, and tropical fruit, complemented by nuances of grapefruit, peach, and light herbal notes. A sturdy malt backbone, likely utilizing Maris Otter, provides a soft, bready foundation reminiscent of raw dough and bread crumbs. With a medium-full body and a surprisingly sweet finish, this beer balances its 6.5% ABV with a smooth, approachable character that emphasizes lush hop flavor over perceived bitterness.
