Tasting Notes

Humble Expressions pours a deep copper-red hue with a frothy off-white head. The aroma bursts with notes of citrus peel, pine resin, and subtle caramel sweetness. On the palate, the beer opens with toasted malt and toffee tones before giving way to layers of grapefruit zest, tropical fruit, and a touch of resinous bitterness. The interplay of malt sweetness and assertive hop character creates a complex yet highly drinkable Red IPA that lingers with a crisp, dry finish.
