This 2023 vintage of Davis Dream, a collaboration with Laboratorios Vermont, exemplifies the Hazy IPA style through its saturated tropical fruit profile. The signature Vermont yeast strain drives intense stone fruit esters, specifically ripe peach and apricot, which meld seamlessly with late-addition hop layers of mango and pulpy citrus. At 7% ABV, it presents a lush, nectar-like quality without harshness. The malt base provides a supportive, grainy foundation that bolsters the juicy hop expression. It concludes with a soft, rounded finish and a restrained bitterness that prioritizes drinkability and biotransformation complexity over sharp resinous hop bite.

Appearance. Straw to deep gold with a characteristic opaque, hazy shine. Features a medium to rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick, persistent lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma featuring pineapple, passionfruit, and tangerine. Noticeable stone fruit esters of peach and apricot from the yeast. Background malt is clean, neutral, and lightly bready with no caramel or toast notes.

Taste. High to very high fruity hop flavor dominated by tropical juice and citrus. Low to medium-high perceived bitterness that is masked by the fuller body. Malt flavor is low and grainy. The finish is off-dry to medium and smooth, lacking any harshness or sharp hop character in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any astringency or raw starch texture.
