Mesotes is a vibrant Hazy IPA that captures the essence of modern hop complexity. The aroma is led by the punchy tropical notes of Nectaron and Idaho 7, suggesting ripe pineapple and lush stone fruits. These layers are further enhanced by the bright citrus zest of Citra and the subtle, resinous pine undertones of Simcoe, creating a multi-dimensional sensory bouquet. On the palate, a soft, bready malt base provides a plush foundation for intense flavors of passion fruit and grapefruit. Its characteristic opaque appearance and smooth, low-bitterness finish emphasize a juicy profile, balancing high fruit-forward ester character with a pillowy mouthfeel.

Appearance. Straw to deep gold (3–7 SRM) with a heavy, opaque haze that provides a luminous shine. A dense, rocky, meringue-like white head persists with excellent retention and lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with an explosion of tropical fruit and stone fruit from Nectaron and Idaho 7. Citra contributes bright lime and orange zest, while Simcoe adds a faint touch of pine. The malt is lightly bready and grainy, remaining supportive and clean with neutral to fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. High fruity hop flavors mirroring the aroma—citrus, peach, and tropical berries. Low to medium-low perceived bitterness allows the juicy fruit character to dominate. The malt flavor is neutral and bready. Finishes off-dry to medium with a smooth, lingering fruitiness and no hop harshness or astringency.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, silky, and pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present at 7% ABV. No harshness or raw grain texture.
