Arrested Emotion is a lush Hazy IPA that exemplifies the "fat" and juice-forward nature of the style. Pouring with a dense, opaque glow, this collaboration with Brewing Koltur delivers an intense olfactory experience driven by heavy double dry-hopping. The sensory profile is dominated by a saturated burst of tropical fruit and distinct passion fruit, supported by a soft, pillowy malt base of grainy sweetness. While the hop intensity is high, the bitterness remains restrained, allowing the vibrant, nectar-like qualities to take center stage. It finishes with a clean, fruity resonance, offering a smooth, approachable mouthfeel that emphasizes drinkability despite its rich, hazy texture.
