Laugar Brewery’s Amarauna, part of their hop-centric trilogy, presents a quintessential Hazy IPA experience at an accessible 6% ABV. It opens with an explosion of tropical fruit and ripe stone fruit aromas, underscored by a clean, bready malt backbone. The pour is characteristically opaque with a luminous straw hue and a persistent, rocky white head. On the palate, juicy citrus and mango flavors dominate, delivered through a soft, pillowy mouthfeel that masks a restrained bitterness. This balanced profile leads to a smooth, off-dry finish, showcasing the depth of modern dry-hopping techniques without overwhelming the palate with harshness.
