Brew Info:

- Website: www.foundersbrewing.com
- Brew: Azacca India Pale Ale
- Style: American India Pale Ale (IPA)
- Serving: 12 ounce bottle
- ABV: 7.0%
- IBUs: 70
- Pour: It pours a very murky caramel gold with a frothy 1-finger white head that leaves a sustained ring.
- Nose: The nose of the Azacca is characterized by intense tropical fruit aromas, citrus, and malt. There are aromas of pink grapefruit rind, mango, melon, passion fruit, tangerine, caramel, sweet biscuit, and a hint of pine resin and herbs.
- Taste: Like the nose the taste of the Azacca is chalk full of fruity intensity along with rich malt. There are notes of mango, pineapple, pink grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, pear, soft caramel/toffee, crackery biscuit, grassy hops, and white pepper.
- Mouthfeel: Medium bodied and well carbonated, the mouthfeel of the Azacca India Pale Ale is crisp, refreshing, and clean with a dry, crisp, and hoppy finish.
- Notes: "The label artwork symbolizes the god of agriculture watching over a field where the ingredients used to make the beer are being grown."
Cheers!!
