A lush collaboration between Barcelona’s Garage Beer Co. and England’s Beak Brewery, Mint 400 is a vibrant Hazy IPA that balances tropical indulgence with classic structure. A massive dry-hop addition of Citra, Idaho 7, and Centennial delivers a saturated profile of ripe pineapple and pithy red grapefruit. While the focus remains firmly on the fruit-forward qualities of Citra and Idaho 7, the inclusion of Centennial provides a complex piney and floral counterpoint that grounds the juiciness. The mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth and soft, carrying the moderate bitterness into a clean, enticing finish that elegantly integrates the 7.2% ABV.
Appearance.Straw to light amber (4-6 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze and a luminous sheen. It is topped by a dense, meringue-like white head with high retention and persistent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical pineapple and citrusy red grapefruit. Subtle floral notes and resinous pine emerge as the beer breathes. A lightly bready and grainy malt presence provides a neutral base, accompanied by clean fermentation esters.
Taste.Assertive hop-forward flavors featuring juicy pineapple and tart grapefruit. The moderate bitterness is well-integrated and never harsh, balanced by a soft, bready malt backbone. A refined floral and pine character provides complexity in the mid-palate. It finishes off-dry and smooth with a lingering fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, silky texture and no harshness. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, contributing to the beer's fullness without being hot.
