This Hazy IPA delivers a vibrant sensory experience, showcasing a tropical and white grape-forward bouquet. Intense aromas of citrusy Citra and Amarillo blend with the passion fruit notes of Mosaic and pine-touched Simcoe, complemented by the delicate elderflower character of Hallertau Blanc. Underpinning this massive hop display is a velvety grist of Simpsons GP and GNO, paired with Torrified Wheat and Crisp Flaked Oats, which delivers a soft, bready, and slightly sweet foundation. It finishes incredibly smooth with a gentle, balanced bitterness that ensures a clean, juice-like presentation.
