Cloud #27 presents as a quintessential Hazy IPA, characterized by a lush, opaque presence that hints at its creamy construction. The aromatic profile is dominated by a massive expression of Cascade hops, delivering classic layers of bright grapefruit zest, floral blossoms, and a subtle spicy undertone. As a Milkshake IPA, the addition of lactose provides a silky, velvety texture that softens the 37 IBU bitterness, allowing the citrus-forward hop character to shine against a bready, sweet malt backdrop. The result is a smooth, fruit-forward experience where the punchy hop oils find perfect harmony with a full, pillowy mouthfeel and a gentle, lingering sweetness.
