Skyrise

Tap to rate

A big blast of tropical passion fruit and sweet peach opens, layered with orchard stone fruit from the Rakau hop, and the finish carries a bold pine bite over a smooth mouthfeel. Alefarm calls Skyrise a tribute to ambition and reaching new heights, built on a massive foundation of malt and hops, with Cashmere, Simcoe and Rakau as the hops.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vivid tropical fruit — passion fruit and ripe peach dominate immediately, supported by stone fruit notes from the Rakau hop. Beneath the fruit-forward character lies a gentle herbaceous undertone with hints of pine, while a clean malty sweetness provides foundational balance without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and fruit-driven, with peach and tropical notes carrying the entry. As it develops, a pronounced hop bitterness emerges with piney, resinous qualities from the Simcoe and Rakau combination, while the substantial malt backbone adds sweetness and body. The bitterness (80 IBU) sits prominently but never overshadows the fruity character, creating a layered interplay between sweet and bitter.

◑ Finish

The finish carries the pine bite forward into a lingering aftertaste, with the bitterness fading gradually. Despite the assertive bitterness, the smooth mouthfeel persists, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.

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.
