9 Inch Snails is a vibrant Hazy IPA that showcases a powerful collaboration between NZ and US hops, delivering an aromatic profile bursting with ripe stone fruit, tropical mango, and bright citrus. The sensory experience is defined by its juicy core, where succulent fruit flavors are balanced by a distinctively resinous hop undertone that adds complexity. A soft, grainy malt backbone provides the necessary structure without introducing sweetness, allowing the hop-derived oils to take center stage. With its plush, velvety texture and restrained bitterness, this beer offers a smooth and approachable finish that lingers with a refreshing, fruit-forward intensity.
Appearance.Straw to deep gold with a luminous, opaque haze and a distinctively 'shining' quality; features a thick, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and dense lacing.
Aroma.High-intensity hop aromatics featuring prominent notes of peach, passion fruit, and tangerine; background notes of fresh pine resin and lightly bready malt; fermentation esters are clean and supportive of the fruit character.
Taste.High hop flavor intensity mirroring the aroma with layers of mango, nectarine, and citrus zest; low to moderate bitterness that remains smooth and never harsh; light, neutral bready malt flavors; finishes off-dry and soft with a lingering fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture; medium carbonation; smooth and creamy on the palate with a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no detectable astringency.
