FOR.REST is built around the aromatic marriage of American hop character and coniferous botanicals. Browar Nepomucen add spruce and pine needle material alongside Simcoe and Mosaic, giving the beer a distinctly green, resinous backbone that sets it apart from the standard AF IPA field. It pours hazy pale gold with lively carbonation. Spruce needles lead the nose, with citrus peel and a faint biscuity malt note behind. On the palate, pine resin dominates, lemon zest and light grapefruit push through mid-taste, and the malt presence is modest but holds the body together. Bitterness is assertive without being harsh. The finish is dry and stays with you. Not a subtle beer. If you want IPA with actual edge, this is the one.
