This Hazy IPA delivers a punchy tropical profile, characterized by an intense aroma of white grape and crushed gooseberry driven by the use of Nelson Sauvin hops. Complementing this, Southern Cross hops contribute a bright citrus edge and a subtle, refreshing spicy undertone. The beer presents a beautiful opaque, straw-colored body with a rocky, meringue-like white head. A soft, grainy malt base supports the juicy hop character, leading to a smooth, medium-bodied palate with low perceived bitterness. It finishes clean and fruit-forward, capturing the essence of modern hopping techniques in a highly approachable, sensory-driven format.
Appearance.Straw to light gold (4 SRM) with a significant, uniform opacity and a radiant shine. Topped with a dense, rocky white head that demonstrates high retention and leaves delicate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring dominant notes of white wine grapes, gooseberry, and passion fruit. Secondary aromas of lemon zest and a faint herbal spiciness. The malt is low and bready, providing a clean background without any caramel or toast.
Taste.Explosive tropical and stone fruit flavors, with Nelson Sauvin providing a distinct grape-like character. Southern Cross adds a citrusy lemon-lime quality with a hint of spice. Malt flavor is low and grainy, supporting a low to medium-low bitterness that is soft rather than sharp. The finish is off-dry and smooth with a lingering citrus aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a soft, rounded, and pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. Entirely free of astringency or harshness, providing a smooth, creamy sensation.
