This Hazy IPA presents an immersive tropical profile driven by the synergy of Krush and Meridian hops. The pour evokes a vibrant multivitamin juice character, leading with an expressive bouquet of ripe pineapple and passion fruit from the Krush additions. The Meridian hops introduce a distinctive fruit-forward depth, contributing bright orange and unexpected hints of creamy banana that meld seamlessly with the soft, grainy malt backbone. It is balanced by a restrained bitterness and a pillowy texture, offering a refreshing yet complex sensory experience. The finish is remarkably clean for the style, leaving a lingering impression of lush, sun-ripened tropical fruit.
