Triple Crossing Clever Girl

Clever Girl, crafted by Triple Crossing in Virginia, epitomizes the New England IPA style with its distinctively hazy appearance and an aromatic profile that IPA lovers will appreciate. At a 7.0% ABV, this brew strikes a harmonious balance that showcases its juicy character. Expect a vibrant palate of tropical fruits interwoven with a zesty citrus burst, a hallmark of this beer's inviting complexity. The moderate bitterness, measured at 50 IBU, allows the fruity notes to shine through, providing a refreshing experience that is both rich and approachable. To fully appreciate Clever Girl's dynamic flavors, it should be served at a cool temperature of approximately 45°F (7°C), which enhances the beer's fruity bouquet without muting its hoppy essence. Pouring it into a tulip glass is recommended, as this glassware's shape accentuates the aroma, allowing the intricate scents to waft upwards for an inviting first impression. Clever Girl pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for meal accompaniments. Its tropical and citrus notes complement seafood dishes such as grilled salmon or shrimp tacos, while its balanced bitterness cuts through the richness of creamy cheeses and spicy Asian cuisine. Additionally, the beer's light effervescence and juicy profile make it a delightful companion to a charcuterie board, enhancing the flavors of cured meats and tangy pickles.
