Ripe IPA

Great Notion's Ripe IPA, originating from Portland, Oregon, boasts a 7% ABV. The aroma is greeted by notes of orange juice, citrus, and a medley of tropical fruit, pine, grapefruit, and floral hops, creating a resinous and inviting bouquet. On the palate, flavors of papaya and sweet tropical notes are prominent, balanced by a robust malt backbone and hints of caramel. Piney resin and citrus zest interplay with herbal undertones, leading to a refreshing finish reminiscent of pineapple juice, with lingering bitterness and a crisp, moderately lengthy experience.

Ripe IPA's rich citrus, tropical, and hop aromas create a deeper flavor experience when paired with various foods. 1. Terroir Pairing: Portland-style Fish and Chips pair wonderfully with Ripe IPA. The greasiness of the crispy batter is offset by the IPA's citrus and pine notes, while the malt backbone enhances the mild flavor of the white fish. The IPA's bitterness provides a clean finish, leaving the palate refreshed. 2. Creative Pairing: Grilled Halloumi and Orange Salad is an unexpectedly excellent combination. The salty and savory taste of the halloumi cheese contrasts with the IPA's tropical fruit and citrus aromas, while the orange's tanginess highlights the juiciness of the hops. The salad's freshness complements the IPA's refreshing finish, creating a perfect balance.
