This Hazy IPA presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by its lush tropicality and bright citrus intensity. The selection of Citra and Mosaic hops delivers a profound wave of ripe mango and sweet orange, while the inclusion of Sorachi Ace adds a distinctive, fresh lemon-zest edge that enhances its refreshing quality. Its character is supported by a soft, grainy malt backbone that allows the hop-driven esters to shine without competition. With its smooth, plush texture and restrained bitterness, it captures a quintessential juicy essence, finishing with a clean, fruity persistence that is perfectly suited for warm-weather sessioning.
Appearance.Straw to light amber (3–7 SRM). Distinctly hazy and opaque with a characteristic glow; topped by a thick, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring dominant tropical mango and sharp citrus. A subtle bready, grainy malt character sits in the background. Fermentation is clean with supportive fruity esters and no clashing phenols.
