This Hazy IPA presents an invitingly opaque, pale yellow glow, derived from a grist heavy in oats, wheat flakes, and wheat malt. The aroma is dominated by the complex interplay of Galaxy, Talus, and Citra Cryo hops, offering distinct notes of blackcurrant leaf, ripe peach, and a touch of banana ester against a resinous pine backdrop. On the palate, a lush tropical fruit profile emerges, highlighted by gooseberry and a lingering resinous finish. With its medium-full body and silky smoothness, it balances a mild bitterness with a soft, pillowy texture, characteristic of a well-crafted New England style ale.
