Jazz Popstar by Mad Scientist is a vibrant West Coast IPA that showcases the singular complexity of the Nelson Sauvin hop variety while utilizing alternative grains for a gluten-free profile. The sensory experience is dominated by the hop’s signature aromas of crushed white grapes, gooseberry, and a hint of tropical passion fruit. These bright, vinous notes are supported by a lean, crisp malt backbone that exhibits subtle grainy and nutty nuances from the gluten-free grist. It delivers a firm, clean bitterness that leads into a bone-dry finish, exemplifying the classic West Coast style’s refreshing and hop-forward character without the presence of traditional barley.
