Squish

Tap to rate

A triple dry-hopped double IPA that returns in editions, each built around a different hop variety used in large doses throughout the brew. The constant is the base of malted oats, wheat and extra pale malt, which makes the beer creamy, hazy and sticky. The fruit changes with the hop: the third edition relies on a single American variety and leans towards apricot, orange, red grapefruit and papaya. Soft and full in body, with ripe fruit sweetness ahead of the bitterness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Squish

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-amber body with fine, persistent white head and strong lacing that clings to the glass. The cloudiness is inherent to the style, arising from the suspended wheat and oat proteins and the dry-hopping regimen. Moderate to high carbonation creates a lively, creamy visual presence.

◌ Aroma

Vibrant and fruit-forward, with prominent apricot, orange, and red grapefruit notes that dominate the nose. Papaya undertones add tropical depth, while soft, bready malt from the oat and wheat base provides a gentle backbone. The hop character is lifted and fresh, without aggressive pine or resin.

◐ Taste

Creamy, full entry with ripe stone fruit and citrus sweetness from the malted grains and hop selection. The mid-palate is soft and sticky, maintaining the fruity character while bitterness builds gradually. The finish settles into moderate bitterness that does not overpower the ripe fruit sweetness, creating balance rather than aggression.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering citrus and apricot notes, followed by gentle, drying bitterness that fades cleanly. The sticky, oat-based malt lingers pleasantly on the palate without harshness.

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.
