This Hazy IPA collaboration presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by an intense burst of tropical and stone fruit. At 6.6% ABV, the beer pours with a radiant, opaque glow, signaling a lush experience. The aroma is a concentrated bouquet of mango, passion fruit, and bright citrus, supported by a clean, lightly bready malt backbone. On the palate, expansive hop flavors deliver juicy layers of peach and pineapple with a restrained, soft bitterness that ensures high drinkability. The mouthfeel is notably smooth and pillowy, leading to a gentle, off-dry finish that highlights the complex, fruit-forward character of New World hops.
