The style grew from brewers chasing a crisp alternative to sweeter IPAs, using lean fermentables and cool, clean fermentation to make the hops feel sharp and bright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit uses extract plus dextrose to keep the body from becoming heavy, then layers Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe for citrus, berry, pine, and tropical aroma.
