Sigma IPA is a West Coast India Pale Ale with Centennial, Citra, and Simcoe hops. Traditionally brewed with loads of dual-use hops in the boil, beers like this helped shape us as brewers and primed our palates for other examples of hoppy excess all over the country. Sigma IPA is a nod to our head brewer’s time spent on the West Coast and to our roots as a brewery, offering a balanced yet bold hop presence, with classic notes of pine, citrus and candied fruit. A slight lingering bitterness is followed by a dry, crisp finish.

Best by date 3/10/25. Drank 1/1/25.
Pour is an amber / deep copper. big off white cap of foam with excellent lacing and retention.
Nose and taste are a slightly pine, a bit of resinous hops balanced by a solid malt backbone - i'd guess some crystal malt of a decent amount of vienna and/or munich.
Was hoping for a bit more gripping bitterness and a more pungent, dank hop profile. Not a bad beer at all, though.

Poured from can into tulip, good 2+ finger light tan head, great retention and lacing. Dark amberish golden in the glass, clear with slight chill haze. Pine, citrus and caramel on the nose, smells old school all the way. Taste is initially caramel sweetness, pine, slight tropical, citrus leaning more towards grapefruit. Citrus stays thru the middle with a light caramel sweetness and it finishes dry with a slight bitterness. Easy drinking beer

Pours a clear dark amber color with a finger width foamy head. Head retention is good. Lacing is very good. Tropical, malty, citrus aroma. Nice malty backbone. Tropical fruit and mild grapefruit with a nice piney finish. Decent bitterness. Light bodied with moderate carbonation.

A: Pours a clear orange color. A two finger white head forms with good retention and some lace left behind.
S: A nice and simple nose. I get mango up front for a moment. Though that quickly moves to a more pine resin and grapefruit finish.
T: More pine and grapefruit which is the main show here. Cereal grains and caramel malts that gives this a bit of sweetness. Lingering bitterness.
M/O: A medium body and good carbonation. This is crisp, clean, and smooth at the same time. Easy to drink. Something I can and have come back to when in the mood.
This is your standard IPA, a la Art Car. Nothing wrong with this at all. While not my favorite IPA out there, I would take this everyday over any NEIPA in the Houston area.
