A bone-dry, effervescent and highly aromatic take on an American IPA. Utilizing a higher percentage of flaked rice and corn as well as an enzyme in the mash to help break down starches leads to an extremely fermentable wort with next to no residual sugar post-fermentation. Crisp, clean and aromatic with mild bitterness. Hops: El Dorado, Amarillo, Azacca.

Brut IPA is straw yellow (SRM 2-3). There is a light, foggy haze capped by 1/2 inch of creamy white head that leaves a webbing of lace on a Pretentious Beer Glass Company hoppy tulip glass. Carbonation streams upward throughout the session.
The aroma opens with lemon-lime and a light, earthy funkiness. The fruits turn pithy and there is a late, burnt rubber aroma which is a detriment.
Surprising to me was the relatively high bitterness in this beer. It is very dry, as should be expected from this style. What little sweetness there is quickly fades from each sip. Citrus pith takes over, leaving only a hint of lime. The finish is strong for a moderate length of time before dryness takes over for the long haul. Warmth brings out a light tartness.
This beer is exceptionally light in body with a watery texture. Alcohol is as expected, as is the lively carbonation. However, the carbonation fills one's mouth with foam for a brief moment during each sip.
I can see this beer pairing nicely with a fish fry and vinegar cole slaw. Being one of my first examples of the style, I need to be careful commenting on expectations.
