Outer Range Brewing Co.

Outer Range’s In the Steep DDH Azacca is a quintessential Hazy IPA, pouring with a signature opacity and a glowing golden-straw hue. The aromatic profile is dominated by the specific contributions of Azacca hops, delivering intense waves of ripe mango, juicy pineapple, and a touch of pine. Complementing this, Citra hops provide a vibrant citrus backbone of grapefruit zest and sweet lime. On the palate, the experience is incredibly plush and soft, characteristic of the style's emphasis on flaked grains. A low bitterness ensures the tropical fruit flavors lead the way, finishing with a refreshing, off-dry smoothness that highlights the depth of the double dry-hopping process.

Appearance. Straw to light orange color (4-6 SRM); opaque, hazy appearance with a healthy luminous glow; thick, meringue-like white head with high retention and beautiful lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring notes of mango, pineapple, and papaya from Azacca, alongside grapefruit and lime from Citra. Background malt is low and grainy-sweet with a touch of bready character; fruity fermentation esters are present but supportive.

Taste. High tropical fruit flavor (mango, tangerine) and citrus zest; low to medium-low perceived bitterness that is very soft. Malt flavor is low and grainy-bready, providing a neutral base. The finish is off-dry and exceptionally smooth with a lingering, juicy fruit aftertaste and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture; moderate carbonation. There is a subtle, light alcohol warmth well-integrated into the plush mouthfeel; no astringency or raw starchiness.
