Scattered Edge presents as a vibrantly modern American IPA, defined by a lush, tropical intensity. Leveraging massive additions of Citra and Idaho 7, the profile is dominated by layers of ripe mango and crushed pineapple. The addition of oats creates a supple, creamy foundation that interacts with a soft water profile to enhance the perceived juice character. While the malt remains supportive and clean, the hop-forward balance ensures a bright, fruit-driven experience. This expression emphasizes succulent New World hop aromatics, resulting in a saturated, fruit-forward ale that maintains a smooth, approachable mouthfeel despite its firm hop backbone.
Appearance.Medium gold (approx 6 SRM) with a persistent, frothy white head and excellent lacing; displays a notable, uniform haze consistent with a high oat grist.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit notes of mango and pineapple, with secondary layers of tangerine and stone fruit. Malt is low and grainy-sweet, while the fermentation profile remains clean with only a hint of fruity esters.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of tropical juice including mango, pineapple, and citrus zest. A low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a soft foundation, while medium-high hop bitterness provides necessary balance. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, succulent fruit-hop aftertaste and no harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a notably smooth, creamy texture derived from the use of oats and soft water. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. Very light, smooth alcohol warmth is present without any astringency.
