Dreamlike

Tap to rate

Sweet cantaloupe and honeydew melon on the nose, tropical notes from mango to aromatic yuzu, sweet peach and passion fruit in the glass, and a nostalgic nod to Juicy Fruit chewing gum. A hazy IPA at 5.6 % ABV, made with Hopsteiner around Alora, Solero and Solero Salvo, hops the brewery had not used before. Vegan, brewed with a gluten-reducing enzyme.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dreamlike

◎ Appearance

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, with suspended yeast and hop solids creating a soft, diffuse appearance characteristic of the style. The head forms quickly and maintains a delicate white collar with modest retention. Carbonation appears gentle, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the cloudy matrix.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinctly stone-fruit and melon notes—ripe cantaloupe and honeydew lead the charge, followed by bright mango and citrus-forward yuzu. A subtle peach sweetness emerges alongside passion fruit undertones, with a playful bubblegum candy character recalling Juicy Fruit gum. The Hopsteiner varieties (Alora, Solero, Solero Salvo) deliver tropical and aromatic intensity without harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is soft and approachable, with the same melon and stone-fruit sweetness translating cleanly from the nose. Mid-palate shows tropical fruit depth—mango and yuzu carry through with peach and passion fruit layering beneath. Bitterness sits at a restrained 50 IBU, offering just enough Edelhopfen character to balance the fruit-forward sweetness without drying the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, fading with lingering peach and melon notes rather than assertive Edelhopfen bite. A gentle fruity warmth persists, complemented by the low alcohol's light touch.

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.

About Hazy IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Hazy IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hazy, tropical, fruity character as Dreamlike will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
