Messorem
Slake Brewing

This Hazy IPA, a collaboration between Messorem and Slake, presents a saturated, tropical profile defined by its powerhouse hop trio. High-intensity aromatics of passionfruit and zesty grapefruit from the Riwaka hops lead the charge, supported by the ripe pineapple and apricot notes characteristic of Idaho 7. Citra layers in bright lime and mango, creating a dense, juicy bouquet. The palate is pillowy and soft, offering a smooth, medium-full body that carries flavors of sun-ripened tropical fruit through a restrained, gentle bitterness. A faint bready malt presence provides a neutral canvas, ensuring the lush hop expression remains the focus through the clean finish.

Appearance. Color is a pale straw (3–5 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze that gives the beer a luminous glow. It features a tall, frothy, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit (passionfruit, mango, pineapple) and citrus (grapefruit, lime). Supportive notes of apricot and a subtle resinous undertone are present. Malt is low and neutral, offering a light bready character without any caramel or toast. Fermentation is clean with supportive fruity esters.

Taste. High fruit hop flavor mirroring the aroma with intense passionfruit, lime, and peach. The malt flavor is low, providing a simple, grainy-sweet foundation. Bitterness is moderate-low and notably soft, integrated into a smooth, off-dry finish. No harshness or hop burn is present, leaving a lingering tropical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. It lacks any astringency or alcohol warmth, contributing to a smooth and approachable drinking experience.
