Salem IPhAze

◎ Appearance

Salem IPhAze presents a hazy golden hue, with fine suspended particles creating a soft, diffused appearance characteristic of the style. The head is stable and dense, with good adhesion to the glass walls. Carbonation is lively, visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the cloudy matrix.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit pith—backed by floral undertones that suggest a delicate herbal lift. Beneath these top notes sit softer fruity esters and a subtle biscuity maltiness that grounds the profile. The overall impression is zesty and inviting rather than intensely hoppy.

◐ Taste

The palate is crisp and juicy on entry, with bright citrus flavors evolving toward stone fruit and subtle tropical notes mid-palate. The bitterness is restrained at 36 IBU, allowing the wheat adjuncts and pale malt sweetness to play a balancing role. The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, never heavy despite the haze.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus acidity and a gentle wheat note that fades gracefully. No harsh or astringent qualities interrupt the departure.
