This Hazy IPA showcases a vibrant ensemble of Strata, Citra, El Dorado, and Galaxy hops, delivering a punchy sensory experience. The pour reveals a glowing, opaque gold body topped with a persistent white head. The aroma is led by punchy grapefruit from the Citra and exotic tropical fruit from the Galaxy, accented by a unique watermelon sweetness from the El Dorado and a resinous pine and dank undertone driven by the Strata. On the palate, the hop-forward character persists with lush flavors of mango and melon, balanced by a soft, bready malt base and a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel.
Appearance.Straw to light amber (SRM 4-6) with an opaque, hazy shine. Features a medium-large, white, meringue-like head with excellent retention and significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward bouquet featuring grapefruit and lime citrus, complemented by tropical notes of passionfruit and mango. Subtle accents of sweet watermelon and berry are layered over a distinct, resinous pine and dank character. Background notes of clean, bready malt are present; no caramel or toast.
Taste.High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with mango, peach, and grapefruit dominant. Low to moderate bitterness provides a gentle counterpoint to the soft, grainy malt foundation.
