Messorem
Bellwoods Brewery

This collaboration between Messorem and Bellwoods Brewery results in a quintessential Hazy IPA, defined by a lush and pillowy texture. The hop profile is driven by Rakau and Loral, creating a multi-dimensional sensory experience. Rakau provides intense bursts of ripe apricot, peach, and tropical mango, while Loral contributes sophisticated floral notes of lavender and lily, alongside a touch of herbal lemon. The malt presence is intentionally neutral and bready, allowing the massive hop-derived fruitiness to shine. With its restrained bitterness and soft, juicy finish, this beer exemplifies the modern approach to the style, balancing complexity with high drinkability.

Appearance. Straw to pale orange (4-6 SRM). Opaque, glowing haze without particulates. Features a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring stone fruit, mango, and floral lavender. Rakau provides the tropical backbone, while Loral adds a delicate herbal and citrus edge. Background notes of grainy, bready malt with a clean, neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a wave of tropical and stone fruit. Rakau flavors of apricot and lime are prominent, complemented by Loral's floral and peppery nuances. Malt flavor is low and bready. Bitterness is medium-low and smooth, never harsh. The finish is off-dry and soft, with a lingering juicy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, rounded, and pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. No perceived alcohol warmth or astringency, providing a smooth and effortless mouthfeel.
