This vibrant Hazy IPA delivers a lush, juice-forward profile dominated by a heavy saturation of Mosaic, Mosaic cryo, Rakau, and Citra hops. The sensory experience opens with a tropical explosion of ripe mango, apricot, and zesty grapefruit, supported by the concentrated blueberry and subtle dank notes provided by the Mosaic cryo. A lean base of pale malts offers a soft, bready foundation that balances the intense hop character without adding distracting sweetness. The finish is remarkably smooth, highlighting the New Zealand-grown Rakau's stone fruit nuances and the clean, citrus-forward punch of Citra for a refreshing, high-impact aromatic impression.

Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring heavy tropical notes of mango and passionfruit, alongside stone fruit and bright citrus zest. Background hints of blueberry and a subtle earthy-dankness.

Taste.Intensely fruity initial impression with flavors of peach, grapefruit, and lychee. Low to moderate hop bitterness is well-integrated and smooth, balanced by a soft, grainy malt backbone. The finish is off-dry and exceptionally clean, with lingering tropical fruit and a slight resinous quality that avoids any harshness or astringency.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a soft, pillowy texture and a smooth mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle sparkle. No detectable alcohol warmth, and lacks any raw starch texture or acidic twang.
