Texas Sunday Morning

Tap to rate

Texas Sunday Morning is a hazy IPA brewed with plenty of Amarillo, accompanied by Citra and Idaho 7. The brewery puts notes of orange and papaya at the front, leading into soft melon and apricot on the finish. Its body is full and smooth, as is usual for the style, and the bitterness stays in the background; tasters speak of a tropical beer with a citrus edge. A light sweetness from the malt rounds off the end. Among the cloudy beers of the house it is one of the stronger ones.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—juicy orange pith and zesty grapefruit—underlaid by stone fruit aromatics of ripe apricot and papaya. Amarillo, Citra, and Idaho 7 work in concert to create a tropical, fruity expression without harsh herbal edges. A gentle maltiness provides a soft, balancing foundation beneath the hop-driven bouquet.

The palate opens with juicy tropical and citrus flavors—orange, papaya, and stone fruit—that evolve into softer melon and apricot notes mid-sip.

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