PipeDream

Tap to rate

Ripe mango, citrus and tropical notes rise from the glass, recalling freshly squeezed juice. The palate is silky and enveloping with mango in the lead, backed by citrus and resinous touches from the dry hopping. The bitterness is balanced, gives structure and keeps the beer from turning cloying, and the finish is long, tropical and slightly dry. Brewed with Pale, Biscuit and Crystal malts and the hops Citra, Centennial and Summit.

Ripe mango and fresh citrus leap from the glass, evoking freshly squeezed tropical juice with an almost juicy quality.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with silky, enveloping mango at the forefront, supported by layered citrus and a clean, dry hop bitterness that provides structure without harshness. Mid-palate remains smooth and juicy, with resinous undertones that prevent the fruit from becoming cloying. The balanced bitterness (35 IBU) sits in proportion, allowing the fruited character to shine while maintaining definition.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
