Metalhead

This Hazy IPA is a vibrant sensory showcase, leaning into the tropical intensity of Phantasm powder and thiol-liberating fermentation. The yeast unlocks massive waves of passionfruit and guava, amplified by a heavy dry-hop addition of Galaxy and El Dorado. Expect an explosion of ripe pineapple and succulent stone fruit on the nose, leading into a palate defined by citrus zest and tropical punch. The soft, pillowy texture carries these bold flavors without harshness, finishing with a gentle, balanced bitterness that keeps the focus on the lush, fruit-forward profile of this modern, hop-driven ale.

Appearance. Straw to light orange (4-6 SRM). Opaque, glowing haze with a dense, meringue-like white head that shows excellent retention and intricate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity tropical bouquet featuring crushed passionfruit, Sauvignon Blanc grapes, and ripe pineapple. Subtle grainy malt sweetness in the background allows the thiol-rich profile of Phantasm and Galaxy to dominate with notes of grapefruit and guava.

Taste. Immediate impact of tropical fruit punch, with Galaxy providing sharp passionfruit and citrus notes while El Dorado contributes sweet pineapple and stone fruit. The malt flavor is low and bready, while the bitterness is moderate and smooth, balancing an off-dry, fruit-laden finish without any hop harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full, soft, and velvety body. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth, non-astringent texture that masks the alcohol well. No acidic twang or grain harshness.
