Funky Fluid Stoked presents a vibrant sensory journey defined by the singular focus of El Dorado hops. This Hazy IPA radiates with an intense bouquet of overripe tropical fruits, specifically highlighting pineapple and mango, underpinned by a soft, grainy malt backbone. The palate is defined by a juicy character where lush fruit notes meet a velvety, medium-full body. Unlike traditional styles, the bitterness is present but smoothed over by a soft mouthfeel, leading to a gentle, fruit-forward finish. The specific use of El Dorado provides a complex depth of stone fruit and candy-like sweetness, making for a remarkably approachable and aromatic experience.
Appearance.Straw to deep yellow (4–6 SRM) with a characteristic opaque, luminous haze. It features a persistent, meringue-like white head with high retention and substantial lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by El Dorado, showcasing primary notes of pineapple, mango, and stone fruit. Background malt is neutral and lightly bready, lacking any caramel or toast. Fermentation is clean with subtle fruity esters that complement the heavy dry-hopping.
Taste.Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit juice. High hop flavors of melon and pear follow the stone fruit aroma. Malt flavor is low and grainy, providing a neutral platform. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, never sharp. The finish is off-dry and smooth with a lingering tropical aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture and smooth mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate. The 6.5% ABV provides a very light, well-integrated warmth without any harshness or astringency.
