Siren Craft Brew First Contact
First Contact is a vibrant Hazy IPA that serves as a masterclass in Australian hop expression. This soft, juicy ale highlights the Eclipse hop variety, delivering punchy aromas of sweet mandarin citrus and fresh pine. Supporting layers of Galaxy and Enigma introduce intense tropical notes of passionfruit and red currant, while Ella provides a subtle floral nuance. Against a backdrop of bready, pale malts, the palate is saturated with stone fruit flavors and a restrained bitterness. The finish is remarkably smooth and off-dry, showcasing a modern hop profile that balances resinous depth with bright, zesty fruit character.
Appearance. Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM). Opaque and hazy with a characteristic matte shine. Features a tall, rocky, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and thick lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet. Dominant notes of sweet mandarin, tropical passionfruit, and crushed grapes are complemented by a hint of fresh pine needle and floral spice. The malt is understated but present as a clean, grainy, bready foundation with no caramel notes.
Taste. Massively fruity hop flavors mirroring the aroma, featuring nectarine, citrus zest, and tropical berry. Initial impression is juicy and soft. Malt flavor is low, providing a neutral bready support. Bitterness is low to medium, appearing smooth and integrated rather than sharp. The finish is clean and off-dry with a lingering fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, silky texture. Carbonation is moderate. No perceived alcohol warmth or harshness. The beer is smooth and lacks any astringency or raw grain huskiness.
