Decadent Ales

Capella is a vibrant Hazy IPA that captures a celestial fruit profile through a double dry-hopping of Wakatu, Rakau, and Strata hops. The pour is opaque and luminous, releasing a bouquet of lime zest, ripe apricot, and passionfruit. On the palate, the Rakau hops provide luscious stone fruit notes, while Strata adds layers of strawberry and a hint of tropical dankness. Wakatu rounds out the experience with a bright citrus lift. This IPA features a pillowy soft mouthfeel and a restrained bitterness, finishing with a refreshing, juice-like cleanliness that highlights the complex hop interplay and New Zealand-inspired fruit character.

Appearance. Straw to light amber (4-6 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze that creates a luminous glow. Topped with a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring a complex blend of lime and floral notes from Wakatu, coupled with the rich stone fruit qualities of Rakau. Strata contributes pungent passionfruit and subtle strawberry esters. Malt is low and neutral, presenting as light bready sweetness with no toast or caramel.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical juice. High fruity hop flavors of passionfruit, citrus, and apricot dominate the palate. Low, grainy malt flavor provides a soft foundation. Bitterness is low to medium-low, well-masked by the fuller body. The finish is off-dry and clean, with a lingering tropical aftertaste devoid of hop harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Smooth and devoid of astringency or hop burn. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
