Beer Profile

Acerbic Ecstasy

Acerbic Ecstasy blends the malt backbone and restrained bitterness of an English IPA with the bright hop character and assertive pine and citrus notes typical of a West Coast IPA. At 6.2% ABV, this hybrid offers a medium body with a crisp, dry finish. Aromas showcase floral and resinous hops alongside subtle caramel malt sweetness. The flavor delivers a balancing act between zesty grapefruit bitterness and a faint toffee richness, supported by a clean, moderately bitter aftertaste. This beer presents a layered hop complexity framed by classic English IPA malt character.
