Hopalaa Cloud #27
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.
Appearance. Straw to light gold (SRM 4-5). Opaque and hazy with a vibrant shine. Features a medium, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and dense lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring the signature grapefruit, citrus, and floral character of Cascade hops. Background notes of bready malt and a subtle, creamy sweetness from lactose additions, supported by light fruity esters.
Taste. Massive fruity hop flavors of citrus zest and floral spice from the Cascade hops. The malt profile is bready and doughy, with a noticeable but balanced sweetness. Perceived bitterness is mild, finishing smooth and slightly sweet without any hop harshness or astringency.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a silky, creamy, and viscous texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a soft, pillowy mouthfeel with a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no harshness.
