Flowerhorn

This vibrant Fruit Beer presents as a focused "Orange Juice IPA," bursting with the essence of freshly squeezed citrus. The addition of orange pulp and zest creates an immediate, sunny profile that is amplified by a punchy dry hop addition of Amarillo and Citra. These hops contribute layers of grapefruit, apricot, and tropical fruit that weave seamlessly through the authentic orange character. While the fruit is the star, the base IPA remains recognizable, offering a soft malt backbone and a balanced bitterness that ensures the finish remains crisp and beer-like rather than sugary.

Appearance. Pale gold to orange-amber (5-8 SRM). It features a persistent, frothy white head with moderate lacing. The beer is hazy to opaque, consistent with the addition of orange pulp.

Aroma. High intensity of fresh orange zest and pulpy citrus. The hop character is prominent, featuring grapefruit and floral peach from Amarillo, alongside lime and tropical mango notes from Citra. Low bready malt and clean fermentation.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of sweet-tart orange and tangerine. The mid-palate reveals resinous and floral hop flavors from Amarillo, followed by the lychee and passionfruit qualities of Citra. Hop bitterness is moderate (approx. 40 IBU context), providing structure against the fruit acidity. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering citrus zest aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the refreshing juice-like quality. Very low alcohol warmth at 5.5% ABV. Smooth texture with no notable astringency from the zest.
