Van Moll Smash Hit
Van Moll Smash Hit presents an expressive take on the Hazy IPA through its single-malt and single-hop construction. The 100% UK Golden Promise malt provides a deep, bready, and slightly honeyed foundation that supports a massive hop take-over. German Callista hops drive the sensory profile, delivering intense aromas of ripe stone fruits—specifically peach and apricot—intermingled with soft red berries and a whisper of citrus. The mouthfeel is notably full and soft, typical of the style, allowing the fruity esters to shine without aggressive bitterness. This focused S.M.A.S.H. approach yields a juice-forward profile where the malt’s subtle sweetness perfectly balances the vibrant, modern European hop character.
Appearance. Straw to gold (4-6 SRM). Hazy and opaque with a luminous shine. Persistent, meringue-like white head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by peach, apricot, and subtle strawberry notes. Low bready and grainy malt character from the Golden Promise base. Clean fermentation profile with light fruity esters.
Taste. High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with stone fruit and citrus prominence. Malt is supportive and bready. Bitterness is low to medium-high but perceived as soft and restrained. Finish is off-dry and smooth with a lingering fruit-skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, silky texture. Moderate carbonation. No astringency or harshness; very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
