Chroust

This festive Hazy IPA presents an assertive aromatic profile defined by the vibrant synergy of Idaho 7 and El Dorado hops. The inclusion of mandarin essential oil elevates the citrus character to a holiday-inspired sensation, delivering layers of bright tangerine, zest, and tropical stone fruit. Beneath the hop-forward intensity, a grist featuring flaked grains contributes a velvety, dense texture and a soft, bready malt foundation. Expect a beautifully opaque appearance and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel that carries the saturated citrus flavors through a clean, low-bitterness finish. It is a quintessential, fruit-forward expression of the style designed for maximum sensory impact.

Appearance. Straw to light gold with a distinct orange hue (4-6 SRM); opaque with a characteristic hazy shine. Topped with a dense, white, meringue-like head showing excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by fresh mandarin zest, sweet orange, and tropical notes of pineapple and stone fruit from the Idaho 7 and El Dorado hops. Background notes of bready, grainy malt and soft fruity esters support the citrus explosion without any harsh herbal or grassy undertones.

Taste. The initial impression is a wash of juicy mandarin and tropical fruit, followed by hints of pear and watermelon. Malt flavor is low, providing a soft, doughy base. Perceived bitterness is mild, serving only to balance the off-dry finish. The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, emphasizing lingering citrus oils rather than sharp hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable creaminess and soft texture derived from the use of flakes. Moderate carbonation enhances the juicy sensation. Alcohol warmth is minimal, ensuring a smooth, accessible experience without any astringency or hop burn.
