Funky Fluid

Funky Fluid Smooth Sailing presents as a bright, hop-forward American IPA that leans into a contemporary juicy profile. The synergy of Citra and Mosaic hops delivers a vibrant bouquet of mango, grapefruit, and stone fruit, while Sabro additions introduce a unique, creamy coconut nuance. Utilizing the Tropicale yeast strain, the beer exhibits a heightened fruity ester profile that complements the tropical hop character. Despite its sessionable strength for the style, it maintains a signature assertive bitterness balanced by a clean, light malt presence. The result is a refreshing and aromatic experience that prioritizes tropical fruit intensity and a smooth, approachable finish.

Appearance. Medium gold (6 SRM) with a slight haze. Features a medium-sized, white, persistent head with moderate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tropical fruit, passionfruit, and citrus. Distinct notes of coconut and stone fruit are present, supported by a low, clean, grainy malt character and fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. A hop-forward initial impression of mango, grapefruit, and light coconut. The hop flavor is high, mirroring the tropical and berry-like aroma. Bitterness is medium-high but clean, supported by a low grainy malt profile. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering hoppy and bitter aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a notably smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high. No alcoholic warmth is perceived, and the finish is free of harshness or astringency.
