Ukiyo #2 presents as a vibrant, sun-drenched Hazy IPA, artfully blurring the line between a tropical juice blend and a modern ale. The sensory experience is dominated by an explosion of mango and sharp passion fruit, supported by the citrus-forward punch of calamansi. High-intensity dry hopping with Citra and Mosaic provides layers of grapefruit zest and resinous tropical depths that intertwine with the added fruit. A soft, doughy malt presence acts as a canvas for the smoothie-like character, while the finish remains plush and approachable. It is a luminous, fruit-saturated journey that captures a carefree, summery essence in every sip.
Appearance.Color ranges from straw to orange-gold with an opaque, juice-like haze that provides a characteristic shine. Topped by a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of fresh mango pulp, tart passion fruit, and zesty calamansi citrus. Citra and Mosaic hops contribute powerful notes of tangerine and tropical stone fruit. A light, bready and grainy malt sweetness lingers in the background, complemented by neutral to fruity fermentation esters.
Taste.Initial impression of intense tropical fruit, featuring mango and tangy passion fruit. Calamansi provides a bright citrus lift. Hop flavors of peach and grapefruit from the Citra and Mosaic additions are prominent. Low perceived bitterness is masked by a soft, bready malt backbone and a fuller body. The finish is smooth and off-dry, with a lingering fruit-forward aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, silky, and smooth mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, with no astringency, harshness, or raw starch texture.
