1989 Brewing Hoppy Face
This Hazy IPA delivers an intense, triple-dry-hopped sensory experience driven by a complex blend of Sabro Cryo, El Dorado, Ekuanot, and Amarillo hops. The aroma is a tropical explosion, led by creamy coconut and ripe pineapple, transitioning into a palate of bright mango, zesty lime, and sweet orange. A pillowy malt backbone provides a soft, bready foundation that balances the low-to-medium bitterness. The finish is juicy and off-dry, lingering with notes of stone fruit and citrus. Smooth and medium-full-bodied, it exemplifies the modern juicy profile with high drinkability and deep fruit complexity derived from biotransformation and heavy late hopping.
Appearance. Straw to light orange (4-6 SRM) with an opaque, uniform haze that creates a characteristic shine. Features a medium-high, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and dense lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring dominant notes of coconut and tropical fruit from Sabro Cryo and El Dorado, supported by papaya and lime from Ekuanot. Faint citrus and floral undertones from Amarillo are present. Malt is neutral and lightly grainy-sweet in the background; yeast esters are fruity and well-integrated.
Taste. Very high fruity hop flavor mirroring the tropical aroma with distinct layers of pineapple, mango, and coconut cream. Low to medium-high perceived bitterness that remains soft and never harsh. Malt flavor is low and bready, providing a supportive base for the hops. Finish is off-dry and clean with a lingering fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture and no hop-derived astringency. Moderate carbonation provides a smooth mouthfeel. Very light alcohol warmth is appropriate for the strength.
