This Hazy IPA presents an invitingly opaque appearance, delivering a saturated sensory experience through double dry-hopping. The strategic use of Centennial, Citra, and Idaho 7 hops creates a vibrant aromatic profile featuring ripe mango, zesty pink grapefruit, and crushed pineapple. On the palate, the hop-forward character shines with layers of tropical fruit and sweet citrus supported by a neutral, bready malt base. The mouthfeel is famously soft and pillowy, typical of the style, masking the 7.5% ABV with a smooth, juicy finish. Idaho 7 provides a distinct stone fruit depth, while Citra and Centennial offer a bright, citrusy lift that lingers without harsh bitterness.
Appearance.Straw to deep gold (4–6 SRM). Opaque, uniform haze with a radiant shine. Thick, white, meringue-like head with excellent retention and dense, rocky lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit (mango, pineapple), citrus (tangerine, lime), and stone fruit. Background malt is low and grainy-sweet. Clean fermentation with supportive fruity esters; no detectable DMS or diacetyl.
Taste.High to very high fruity hop flavors echoing the tropical and citrus aroma. Low, neutral malt flavor. Bitterness is low to medium-low, providing just enough balance to avoid cloying sweetness. The finish is off-dry and smooth, with a long, juicy aftertaste of citrus zest and tropical fruit.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Smooth and free of hop-derived astringency or harshness.
