Crafted for Laugar Brewery’s fourth anniversary, this Hazy IPA utilizes a heavy addition of oats and wheat to build a plush, opaque profile. The sensory experience is defined by an intense, juice-like character, radiating aromas of tropical mango and stone fruit. On the palate, the soft, bready malt backbone provides a creamy canvas for vibrant citrus and pineapple flavors. With a restrained bitterness and a smooth, medium-full body, the beer emphasizes a lush milkshake texture. This celebratory pour delivers a vibrant hop-forward finish that remains clean and approachable, perfectly capturing the essence of a modern, fruit-focused ale.
