This Hazy Double India Pale Ale, a collaboration between WeldWerks and Trillium, presents an explosive tropical profile. High-intensity aromas of ripe mango, pineapple, and citrus zest are underscored by the delicate, floral essence of Wild Flower Honey. The palate follows with a lush, saturated hop character, delivering waves of passion fruit and peach. Despite the 8.4% ABV, the alcohol is masterfully integrated, providing a soft warmth that complements the creamy, pillowy texture. A restrained bitterness ensures the focus remains on the vibrant, juice-like flavors, finishing smooth with a lingering nectar-like sweetness that reflects the added honey.
Appearance.Deep straw to pale gold (4-6 SRM); opaque, turbid clarity. Thick, rocky, long-lasting white head with dense, persistent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity; dominant notes of tropical fruit (guava, papaya) and citrus (tangerine). Distinct floral honey aromatics provide a sweet, meadow-like layer. Low, doughy malt presence; clean fermentation profile with no harsh alcohol or solvent notes.
Taste.Initial burst of sweet tropical fruit and melon. Mid-palate reveals a soft, wheaty malt backbone and a subtle honey-like richness. Hop bitterness is moderate and smooth, lacking resinous harshness. The finish is juicy and slightly off-dry, with a lingering fruit nectar and floral aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a remarkably soft, creamy, and rounded texture. Carbonation is moderate; a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but not hot. No hop-derived astringency.
