Glint is a vibrant Hazy IPA that showcases the lush, tropical versatility of El Dorado hops. It pours with a luminous, opaque glow, releasing a saturated bouquet of ripe pineapples and thick orange marmalade. The sensory experience is defined by its juicy profile, where intense stone fruit and citrus sweetness are balanced by a soft, pillowy texture. Underneath the hop-forward intensity, a subtle, bready malt backbone provides structure without introducing toast or caramel. This medium-full bodied ale delivers a smooth, low-bitterness finish that emphasizes fruit depth and biotransformation esters over harshness, resulting in a highly approachable, modern hop expression.
Appearance.3–7 SRM. Hazy to opaque pale gold with a soft orange hue. Features a dense, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.
Aroma.High intensity. Dominated by tropical notes of fresh pineapple and candied orange peel. Secondary aromas of stone fruit and a hint of pear emerge from the El Dorado hops. The malt is clean and lightly bready, with no caramel or toast, supported by fruity fermentation esters.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of sweet pineapple and orange marmalade flavors. Malt flavor is low, presenting as a neutral graininess that allows the hops to shine. Perceived bitterness is moderate but well-integrated and never sharp. The finish is off-dry and lingering with a focus on citrus oils and tropical fruit pulp.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, silky texture and no astringency. Carbonation is moderate. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but subtle.
