Octavo Arte

La Malika presents as an inviting Hazy IPA, blending the juicy, contemporary profile of a New England-style ale with the silky indulgence of a Milkshake IPA. The inclusion of Mosaic hops drives a vibrant sensory experience, characterized by a complex melange of bright citrus, lush tropical fruit, and a subtle, grounding whisper of resinous pine. A delicate addition of lactose rounds out the profile, providing a gentle sweetness that balances the hop-forward nature of the beer. The result is a smooth, approachable ale where the creamy sweetness enhances the juicy character without overwhelming the refreshing, fruit-driven essence of the brew.

Appearance. SRM 4-6; straw to light amber with a soft orange hue. Opaque with a consistent haze and a bright shine. Features a rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by Mosaic, displaying tropical notes of mango and guava alongside tangerine citrus and a faint resinous pine. Clean, grainy malt serves as a background, while the lactose provides a subtle, milky sweetness that complements fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor featuring tropical and citrus profiles. The malt is low and bready, quickly yielding to a soft, off-dry sweetness from the lactose. Bitterness is low to medium-low and well-integrated, leading to a smooth finish that emphasizes fruit juice character over sharp bitterness. The aftertaste is clean with lingering notes of tropical fruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable smoothness and creaminess attributed to the lactose addition. Carbonation is moderate. No alcohol warmth is perceived at this strength, and there is a total absence of harshness or astringency.
