🌍 Australia · Hazy IPA · One of 97 Hazy IPAs in hopIQ

The flagship hazy IPA pours cloudy gold and opens on mango, grapefruit and ripe stone fruit, with a melon note behind. Pale malt, wheat and rolled oats build a soft, rounded body that carries the hop aroma instead of cutting through it, and bitterness stays low at 15 IBU. A low-flocculating English yeast holds the haze in the glass and adds fruity esters. The finish is juicy, with barely any dryness to it.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Royal Haze

Appearance

Royal Haze pours a luminous cloudy gold, with suspended haze held in suspension by low-flocculating English yeast. The head is modest but persistent, showing fine retention and gentle lacing at the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, contributing to the soft, pillowy presentation.

Aroma

The nose opens with tropical stone fruit—ripe mango and juicy peach—followed by bright grapefruit and a subtle melon undertone that adds depth. Pale Malz and wheat provide a soft, bready backdrop without dominating, while low-flocculating yeast contributes fruity esters that echo the hop character. The overall impression is aromatic without aggression, balancing fruit and grain.

Taste

The palate enters soft and rounded, with rolled oats and wheat building a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel that carries hop aroma rather than bitterness. Tropical and citrus notes from the hops integrate seamlessly with subtle melon and stone fruit, while the 15 IBU bitterness remains restrained and never harsh. Mid-palate sweetness from pale Malz and oats provides balance without cloying.
