This Hazy IPA captures a high-altitude hop profile with a lush, tropical intensity. A heavy dry-hop regimen featuring Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson delivers a complex sensory landscape characterized by dank resin and sweet melon. Bright notes of blackberry emerge alongside zesty citrus, supported by a subtle, bready malt backbone. The appearance is a vibrant, opaque straw with a dense white head. On the palate, the hop-forward juice profile remains soft and smooth, balancing the restrained bitterness with a lingering fruit finish that highlights the unique berry and vinous qualities of the signature hops, making for a remarkably drinkable mountain-style ale.
Appearance.Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM) with a significant, opaque haze that provides a luminous shine. The beer is topped by a thick, meringue-like white head with high retention and delicate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma featuring a complex blend of tropical fruit and dank resin. Prominent scents of ripe melon, grapefruit, and distinct blackberry are present, underpinned by a clean, lightly bready malt character with neutral fermentation esters.
Taste.High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma, with layers of sweet cantaloupe, zesty lime, and a persistent dankness. Low to medium-high perceived bitterness that is masked by a soft, pillowy palate. The malt provides neutral, grainy support leading to a smooth, off-dry finish with a fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a remarkably soft, smooth texture. Moderate carbonation enhances the mouthfeel without any carbonic bite or hop astringency. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
