Great Notion Brewing
Fuerst Wiacek

Elsewhere is a vibrant Hazy IPA that captures a lush, tropical profile through its specialized ingredients. The fermentation with passion fruit amplifies the sharp, exotic tang, which is seamlessly integrated with the intense aromatics of Galaxy and Sabro hops. Galaxy brings forward bursts of passion fruit and peach, while Sabro adds its signature creamy coconut and tropical fruit nuances. The result is a sensory experience defined by a soft, pillowy mouthfeel and a low-bitterness profile that prioritizes juiciness above all else. This collaboration between Great Notion and Fuerst Wiacek is a fruit-forward exploration of the style's potential for depth, acidity, and refreshment.

Appearance. Straw to deep gold (SRM 4-6) with a heavy, opaque haze that creates a characteristic glow. Topped with a persistent, rocky, meringue-like white head that leaves dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics lead with sharp passion fruit and citrus. Galaxy hops contribute distinct layers of peach and tropical fruit, while Sabro adds notes of coconut and a hint of cream. Neutral, bready malt provides a light foundation, supporting a clean fermentation profile without any harsh alcohol or ester clashing.

Taste. An immediate explosion of passion fruit acidity and fruitiness, followed by hop-derived flavors of pineapple and citrus. Galaxy hops emphasize the tart tropical character, while Sabro introduces a subtle coconut creaminess that rounds out the mid-palate. Low bitterness ensures a smooth, juice-like impression. The finish is soft and slightly off-dry, with lingering tropical fruit notes.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, almost creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. There is no astringency or harshness, and the 6.6% ABV provides a very subtle, well-integrated warmth.
