Mast Landing Brewing Co.

Front Flips is a vibrant Hazy IPA that offers an expressive sensory landing, defined by the harmonious blend of Nelson, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. The aroma is high-intensity, delivering a tropical burst of mango and passion fruit alongside the signature crushed gooseberry and white wine notes characteristic of Nelson Sauvin. On the palate, Mosaic and Simcoe drive flavors of blueberry, citrus, and a hint of pine over a soft, bready malt base. This beer exemplifies the style with its opaque, glowing appearance and a creamy, pillowy mouthfeel that masks a gentle bitterness, finishing with a clean, juicy flourish.

Appearance. Color ranges from straw to deep gold (3–6 SRM). It displays a characteristic opaque haze with a luminous shine. The head is white, rocky, and meringue-like with high retention and thick, decorative lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring tropical fruit (pineapple, mango), stone fruit, and citrus. Nelson Sauvin provides distinct white grape and gooseberry notes. Malt is low and supportive, suggesting grainy, bready notes with no caramel. Fermentation is clean and neutral.

Taste. Fruit-forward and juicy initial impression. High hop flavors of tropical fruit, berry, and citrus peel. Malt flavor is low, presenting as lightly bready or doughy. Hop bitterness is low to moderate and smooth, never harsh. The finish is off-dry to medium with a lingering fruit-skin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, rounded, and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. No perceived astringency or hop burn. Minimal alcohol warmth consistent with its 6.1% ABV.
