Pop 'N Lock presents as a quintessentially juicy Hazy IPA, characterized by an explosion of tropical and citrus notes. The strategic use of Citra and El Dorado in the whirlpool provides a foundation of stone fruit and bright lime, while a massive dry-hop addition of El Dorado and Cryo-Pop elevates the profile with intense pineapple and mango intensity. A generous grist of oats and wheat creates a characteristic soft, pillowy texture and a smooth mouthfeel that belies its approachable 5.5% ABV. It finishes with a restrained bitterness, allowing the vibrant, fruit-forward hop character to remain the primary focus throughout the experience.
Appearance.Color is a hazy, nearly opaque straw to light gold with a luminous shine. It features a medium, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and beautiful lacing.
Aroma.High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical mango, pineapple, and citrus zest. A clean, bready, and lightly grainy malt presence provides a supportive background, with clean fermentation esters that complement the hops.
Taste.High fruity hop flavor mirroring the tropical and citrus aroma. Low to medium malt flavor presenting as soft bread. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as lower due to the full body, finishing off-dry and smooth with a juice-like aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate, and alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated, with no harshness or astringency.
