This Hazy IPA showcases a vibrant, saturated profile driven by the synergy of Citra and Idaho 7 hops. The Citra brings forward bright bursts of lime zest, tangerine, and fresh grapefruit, while Idaho 7 adds complexity with notes of ripe pineapple, mango, and a faint whisper of pine resin. These intense tropical and citrus aromas are supported by a clean, bready malt base that provides a soft, pillowy foundation. The palate follows suit with a lush, juicy character and a restrained bitterness that ensures a smooth, approachable finish, emphasizing the depth of hop flavor and a refreshing, fruit-forward aftertaste.
Appearance.Color is a pale straw to golden-yellow (4-6 SRM) with a significant, uniform haze that creates a matte-like shine. It is topped by a dense, rocky white head that demonstrates excellent retention and leaves thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical and citrus notes. Citra provides grapefruit and lime peel, while Idaho 7 contributes pineapple and apricot. The malt character is low, appearing as clean, neutral grain or light dough. Fermentation is clean with supportive fruity esters that complement the hop profile.
Taste.Initial impression is a wave of tropical fruit, specifically mango and pineapple, followed by citrus flavors of orange and lime. Malt flavor is low and bready, providing just enough balance. Bitterness is low to medium-low, integrated well to avoid harshness. The finish is off-dry and smooth, with a lingering fruitiness rather than a sharp bite.
Mouthfeel.Medium-bodied with a soft, rounded mouthfeel and medium carbonation. It lacks the sharp astringency of traditional IPAs, offering a smooth, almost velvety texture. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated at 6% ABV.
