Octavo Arte

Octavo Arte KOE is a luscious Hazy IPA that leans into its milkshake-inspired roots through the strategic use of lactose and Azacca hops. The addition of milk sugar provides a soft, creamy sweetness that enhances the beer’s perceived body, creating a velvety foundation for the hops. Expect a vibrant sensory profile dominated by intense aromas and flavors of ripe pineapple and tropical fruit, characteristic of the Azacca variety. The malt profile remains neutral and bready, allowing the juice-forward hop expression to take center stage. With its restrained bitterness and smooth, smoothie-like texture, this ale offers an approachable and refreshing fruit-forward experience.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze and a healthy sheen. Features a dense, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent pineapple, mango, and tropical citrus. A light, sweet dairy note from the lactose blends with a soft, bready, and grainy malt background. Fermentation character is clean and neutral.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of juicy pineapple and stone fruit hop flavors. The lactose imparts a moderate, creamy sweetness that balances a low-to-moderate hop bitterness. Malt flavors are lightly bready and neutral. The finish is smooth and off-dry, with a lingering tropical fruit aftertaste and zero harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a noticeably creamy, pillowy texture and smooth mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. No astringency.
