First Cut from Troegs Brewing Co.

First Cut is an IPA with 6.2% ABV from Tröegs Brewing Co. that’s located in Hershey, Pennsylvania. This IPA marks an early sign of spring that sits on shelves next to their flagship Perpetual IPA and the nigh legendary Nugget Nectar.

First Cut pours to a somewhat hazy orange color with a bright, bubbly white head that quickly dissolves into its base. There’s a wonderful floral aroma that’s fresh and bright, along with some light toasted malt scent.

There are clear, defined notes of mango and malt forward flavors, providing a juicy, vibrant taste before transitioning into hoppier tones. The finish begins to capture some of the traditional hop flavors, with pine and flowers mixing with a bit of grassiness. Some bitterness lingers on the tongue, resiny pine, but not enough to dissuade any drinker from taking a second, third or fourth gulp.

First Cut is a wonderful compliment to Perpetual, another variant of a well-made IPA that provides a clean, crisp pale ale flavor without overwhelming tastebuds with too much bitterness.
