This vibrant Hazy IPA showcases a beautiful marriage of US and NZ hops, delivering a punchy citrus and tropical fruit profile. It pours with an attractive, glowing haze and a persistent, rocky white head. The aroma bursts with fresh passion fruit, lime zest, and sweet mango, underpinned by a delicate, doughy malt sweetness. On the palate, juicy stone fruit and grapefruit flavors lead into a surprisingly clean, crisp finish, balancing the style’s signature soft mouthfeel with a refreshing, dryish bitterness on the backend that keeps the beer highly drinkable and beautifully balanced.
Appearance.Straw to light orange-amber with a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head showing excellent retention and lacing. Uniformly hazy with an appealing luminescent quality, free of visible sediment or yeast clumps.
Aroma.High intensity hop-forward aroma bursting with tropical fruit, citrus, and white wine notes from the US and NZ hop blend. Supported by a low, clean, bready malt background and subtle fruity esters, without any harsh alcohol or yeast-derived phenolic notes.
Taste.Dominated by vibrant citrus peel, stone fruit, and tropical melon hop flavors. Malt provides a supportive, light grainy-bready sweetness. Balanced bitterness is low to moderate, but finishes with a clean, crisp, and slightly dry bite on the backend rather than cloying sweetness. The hop profile lingers smoothly without astringency.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a soft, smooth, and slightly creamy texture from flaked grains, lifted by moderate carbonation. Delivers a very gentle alcohol warmth suitable for its strength, with zero astringency or hop burn.
