This Hazy IPA offers a lush, tropical experience driven by a deliberate blend of Cashmere and Mosaic hops. The pour reveals a vibrant, opaque glow typical of the style, releasing intense aromatics of ripe papaya and stone fruit. On the palate, Mosaic delivers a wave of juicy mango and tropical depth, while Cashmere provides a brightening citrus lift that maintains the beer’s refreshing nature. A soft, pillowy body supports the hop-forward profile, balancing a subtle, bready malt base against a restrained bitterness that ensures a clean, crushable finish despite its substantial alcohol content.
Appearance.Straw to deep gold (4–6 SRM) with a characteristic opaque, luminous haze. Features a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical notes of mango, papaya, and stone fruit. Secondary notes of bright citrus and a hint of melon are present. The malt is clean and neutral with a light bready, grainy character in the background; no caramel or toast present.
Taste.High hop flavor echoing the aroma with prominent mango, papaya, and citrus. Initial impression is juicy and fruit-forward. Low to medium-high perceived bitterness that is smooth and never harsh, balanced by an off-dry finish. Low bready malt flavor provides a sturdy base without competing with the hops. Clean fermentation profile.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, smooth, and pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift. Very light alcohol warmth is well-integrated and appropriate for 7% ABV. No astringency or harshness.
