This Hazy IPA from Outer Range showcases a lush, tropical profile driven by a complex hop blend. The use of Citra provides dominant notes of mango and bright citrus, while Nelson Sauvin introduces sophisticated layers of crushed white grape and gooseberry. A foundation of Columbus adds a necessary touch of resinous depth and dankness to balance the fruit-forward character. This beer presents a characteristically soft, pillowy texture that carries the intense hop oils across the palate. Expect a vibrant sensory experience where juicy fruit esters harmonize with a gentle, bready malt backbone and a clean, restrained bitterness.
Appearance.Pale straw to light orange (4-6 SRM) with a deep, uniform haze and opaque clarity. Topped by a persistent, rocky white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.High-intensity aroma of tropical fruit and citrus. Prominent notes of passionfruit and mango from Citra blend with the characteristic white wine and gooseberry of Nelson Sauvin. Columbus adds a subtle dank, earthy undercurrent. Malt is low and neutral-bready, supporting the hop profile without distraction.
Taste.Initial impression is an explosion of tropical fruit, specifically mango and grapefruit, followed by a mid-palate of crushed grapes. Bitterness is moderate but soft, balancing the off-dry, juicy finish. Malt flavor is low, resembling fresh flour or bread dough. The aftertaste is clean with lingering notes of tropical fruit and light resin.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, creamy, and pillowy mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. Free from any hop-derived astringency or harshness.
