Hazy Sculpin

◎ Appearance

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, with suspended yeast and hop particles creating an intentionally opaque, cloudy appearance. The head forms quickly and retains moderate density, leaving a light Schaumkleiden on the glass between sips. Carbonation is evident and lively, contributing to the beer's visual liveliness.

◌ Aroma

Galaxy and Nelson hops lead with bright tropical fruit esters—passionfruit, guava, and stone fruit notes rise prominently from the pour. An earthy, slightly herbal undertone grounds the nose, while soft fruity character from the yeast adds depth without dominating. The overall profile is juicy and welcoming, with no harsh alpha acid bite.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with tropical hop flavors unfurling across the mid-palate—mango, stone fruit, and subtle citrus blend seamlessly. The bitterness arrives gently and remains restrained at 40 IBU, providing structure without aggression or dry harshness. A creamy mouthfeel from the haze carries the flavors forward, balanced by an earthy streak that prevents one-dimensional sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, with tropical fruit notes fading into a light, lingering earthy whisper. No harsh alcohol warmth or sticky residue remains—instead, a refreshing, easygoing fade invites the next sip.
