Character, Flavor, Aromas

The aroma opens with citrus notes of grapefruit and orange peel that evolve into a tropical profile with nuances of mango and passion fruit, followed by a marked resinous and herbaceous character similar to pine and cannabis. On the palate, it presents a dry and direct entry, with a firm bitterness that lingers throughout the sip without overshadowing the slightly caramelized malt background. The finish is long, hoppy, and extremely clean, inviting further exploration of each aromatic layer.

Culinary Pairing

Ideal for pairing with intense dishes such as carnitas tacos with fresh cilantro, glazed BBQ ribs, blue cheese burgers, or aged sheep cheeses. Its bitter and resinous profile acts as a perfect counterpoint to animal fats and spicy flavors, enhancing umami and cleansing the palate with each sip.

Gross Sticky is for those who understand that hops are not just an ingredient, but a cultural statement. An IPA that pays homage to the origins of the style and celebrates the purest and rawest side of the craft movement. Do you dare to return to where it all began?
