Nova Runda

Nova Runda’s Jester's Opus is a vibrant Hazy IPA that showcases a masterful hop blend of Talus, Citra, Jester, and Opus. The experience begins with an explosion of pink grapefruit and tropical mango from the Citra and Talus, while the inclusion of Jester and Opus introduces nuanced layers of lychee, blackcurrant, and stone fruit apricot. This experiment pours with a dense, opaque glow and a creamy white head. The palate is soft and pillowy, emphasizing juicy hop saturation over sharp bitterness. A gentle, bready malt backbone provides the necessary support for this complex, fruit-forward profile, resulting in a smooth, lush finish.

Appearance. Straw to light orange (4–6 SRM); opaque with a characteristic hazy shine; dense, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet; prominent notes of pink grapefruit, mango, and lychee; secondary layers of apricot and floral rose; low bready, grainy-sweet malt background; clean fermentation profile with no distracting esters.

Taste. Very high fruity hop flavor featuring tropical stone fruit, lime zest, and blackcurrant; low perceived bitterness that is well-integrated and never sharp; low bready malt flavor; finishes off-dry and juicy with a lingering fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture; medium carbonation; light alcohol warmth; smooth and creamy with no hop harshness or astringency.
