This Hazy IPA presents a vibrant, saturated profile defined by its dank and sticky hop character. The aromatic punch is driven by a heavy-hitting trio of Motueka, Citra, and Riwaka, delivering an intense melange of crushed lime, passionfruit, and resinous pine. Supported by a bready, clean base of Simpsons malt, the palate is exceptionally juicy, emphasizing tropical sweetness over sharp bitterness. The fermentation character from WHC Lab yeast remains clean, allowing the New World hop profile to dominate. Expect a lush, soft mouthfeel that carries the high-intensity fruit flavors into a smooth, lingering finish.
Appearance.Straw to light amber (5 SRM). Opaque haze with a luminous, healthy glow. Dense, white, meringue-like head with excellent retention and persistent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity. Explosive tropical fruit including mango and papaya from Citra, joined by the distinctive lime zest of Motueka and a pungent, dank, diesel-like edge from Riwaka. Underlying bready, grainy malt sweetness is present in the background.
Taste.Massive fruity hop flavor echoing the aroma: passionfruit, citrus oil, and sweet peach. Very low perceived bitterness relative to the massive hop load, allowing for a juicy impression. Malt provides a supportive, crackery foundation. The finish is smooth and off-dry with lingering notes of fruit skins.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, creamy texture and no hop-derived astringency. Moderate carbonation. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength.
