This Hazy IPA showcases a vibrant bouquet of tropical fruit driven by a potent combination of Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, and Azacca hops. The aroma is dominated by ripe mangos, apricots, and papaya, which transition seamlessly into the flavor profile. Despite its 6.8% ABV, the beer remains dangerously drinkable, characterized by a mellow mouthfeel that masks its strength. A light, bready malt backbone supports the massive hop presence, leading to a palate-cleansing mild bitterness. The result is a smooth, juicy experience that emphasizes fresh fruit character over sharp bitterness, finishing with a soft, lingering tropical essence.
Appearance.Straw to light amber with a deep haze that provides a luminous shine. Pours with a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head that demonstrates excellent retention and leaves thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity aroma defined by a massive tropical fruit punch. Dominant notes of mango, papaya, and stone fruit like apricot are complemented by citrus and berry undertones. A clean, lightly bready and grainy malt presence sits quietly in the background without any toasted or caramel character.
Taste.Initial impression is an explosion of juicy tropical fruit, echoing the mango and papaya found in the aroma. Hop flavors are high, supported by a neutral fermentation profile. The bitterness is low to moderate, serving to clean the palate rather than linger. A soft, off-dry finish is supported by a subtle bready malt flavor, with no harshness or hop burn in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a remarkably smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate, enhancing the juicy sensation. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth that reflects the 6.8% ABV without being solventy or intrusive.
