Aurore presents as a quintessential Hazy IPA, delivering a vivid sensory experience led by the punchy interplay of Citra and Mosaic hops. The profile is dominated by bright notes of tangerine and zesty citrus, which expand into a lush canopy of tropical fruits like mango and pineapple. A soft, pillowy body defines the palate, supported by a clean, bready malt presence that allows the hop-derived oils to shine. This beer exemplifies the juicy mountain-style character, balancing intense hop flavor with a restrained bitterness and a smooth, rounded finish that emphasizes fruit-forward complexity over sharpness.
Appearance.Color ranges from straw to a deep, glowing orange (3–7 SRM); opaque and hazy with a characteristic sheen. Topped with a persistent, meringue-like white head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent tangerine, citrus, and ripe tropical fruits. Background malt is clean and lightly bready; fermentation character is neutral to mildly fruity, harmonizing with the Citra and Mosaic profile without any herbal or grassy notes.
Taste.High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with layers of citrus and stone fruit. Malt flavor is low but supportive, offering a grainy sweetness. Bitterness is low to medium-high but perceived as soft and integrated. The finish is off-dry to medium, lingering with a smooth, juicy hop aftertaste and no harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a characteristically soft, smooth, and pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. No astringency or raw starchiness is present, accompanied by a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
