What it is

The Argentine take on an IPA: hoppy and firmly bitter but moderate in strength, and amber rather than pale. Brewed to be refreshing at the rates people actually drink it, which keeps it below the alcohol most American IPAs reach for.

Flavor

What a IPA Argenta should taste like, on the three wheels the studio scores every recipe against. The shaded ring is the style’s range on each axis, from 0 at the center to 5 at the edge.

Hops

Citrus, with room for tropical, floral, resin/pine or herbal.

Malt

Grainy, with room for sweet/honey or bready/biscuit.

Fermentation

Clean, with room for fruity esters.
