Mountains Walking Brewery Grazing Clouds
Grazing Clouds is a lush Hazy IPA that captures the essence of a tropical juice bomb. Utilizing Montana grown oats for a signature softness, the sensory profile is dominated by an aggressive dry-hopping regimen of Rakau, Citra, Motueka, and Galaxy. Expect an explosion of ripe mango and zesty pineapple on the nose, transitioning into a saturated palate of passion fruit and lime. The Citra provides a bright citrus backbone, while Galaxy and Rakau contribute deep stone fruit and tropical weight. The Motueka adds a subtle mojito-like lime lift, resulting in a complex, fruit-forward experience that remains remarkably smooth and approachable.
Appearance. Straw to deep gold (3-6 SRM). Opaque, uniform haze with a luminous, healthy shine. Features a dense, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and significant lacy patterns left on the glass.
Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma featuring punchy tropical fruit, specifically mango and crushed pineapple. Notable citrus notes of grapefruit and lime zest emerge. Background malt is clean and bready with a slight grainy sweetness from the oats. Fermentation is neutral with subtle fruity esters that complement the hop profile; no alcohol or sulfur present.
Taste. Initial impression is a saturated wave of tropical fruit juice. High hop flavors of peach, passion fruit, and citrus dominate. The oats provide a light bready, grainy malt support that never turns cloying. Bitterness is low to medium-low, perceived as soft rather than sharp, balancing the fruitiness. The finish is medium-dry to off-dry, lingering with a pleasant pineapple and lime aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably soft, pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate, enhancing the fruity lift. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. No astringency or hop burn; smooth and creamy without being heavy or viscous.
