This Hazy IPA presents an intricate tapestry of New World hop character. The addition of Nelson hops introduces distinct notes of crushed white wine grapes and gooseberry, while Sabro contributes a creamy tropical essence reminiscent of coconut and ripe pineapple. Talus adds a sophisticated layer of pink grapefruit and subtle floral sage. Together, these hops create a vibrant sensory experience against a backdrop of soft, bready malt. The 7% ABV provides a gentle warmth that supports a plush, medium-full body, finishing with a restrained bitterness and a lingering, juicy fruitiness that defines the style's modern and approachable appeal.
Appearance.Color is straw to deep gold (4-6 SRM). It displays a characteristic opaque haze with a luminous shine and no visible particulates. The beer is topped by a dense, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick, persistent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring a complex blend of crushed grapes, gooseberry, and tropical coconut. Prominent notes of pink grapefruit and stone fruit are supported by a clean, bready, and grainy malt background. Fermentation esters are fruity and well-integrated with the hop profile.
Taste.High to very high fruity hop flavors of mango, pineapple, and citrus zest. Low bready malt flavor provides a neutral foundation. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as soft and restrained, leading into an off-dry finish. The aftertaste is long and fruit-forward, devoid of any harshness or grassy character.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, silky, and plush texture. Carbonation is moderate. It offers a smooth mouthfeel with a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and an absence of any astringency or raw starchiness.
