This Hazy IPA delivers a saturated sensory experience centered on a lush, tropical profile. A heavy double dry-hop of Citra, Idaho Gem, and Lotus creates a layered aroma of mango, zesty lime, and sweet cherry. The addition of Idaho Gem contributes distinct notes of candied pineapple, while the Lotus hops introduce a unique creamy orange and subtle vanilla-floral undertone. These intense hop characters are supported by a soft, bready malt backbone. The palate is decidedly juicy, emphasizing fruit-forward flavors with a restrained bitterness that ensures a smooth, approachable finish typical of the modern New England style.
Appearance.Straw to gold (4–6 SRM) with a heavy, opaque haze that provides a luminous shine. Supports a thick, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and prominent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring mango, passionfruit, and lime (Citra) alongside red berries and pineapple (Idaho Gem). Subtle notes of orange peel and vanilla (Lotus) are present, backed by a clean, grainy, bready malt character and neutral fermentation esters.
Taste.Initial impact of tropical fruit juice leads into flavors of crushed pineapple, citrus zest, and stone fruit. Malt provides a soft, light-bread sweetness. Bitterness is low to medium and smooth, lacking any harshness. The finish is off-dry and clean, with a lingering fruit-skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a pillowy, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth delivery. Absence of astringency or hop burn, with very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
