Hazy Hearted IPA

Tap to rate

A hazy IPA with tropical and fruity aromas that finishes smooth. Wheat and oats go into the brew next to water, malt and hops, and at 7.5% ABV it is a year-round member of the Hearted IPA family from Bell's in Michigan. The brewery recommends a nonic glass and suggests checking the best-by date on the package for the freshest taste.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical fruit—mango and papaya—underscored by citrus zest and subtle stone fruit. A light grain sweetness from wheat and oats sits beneath, anchoring the bouquet without dominating. The Noble hops contribute gentle floral and herbal notes that complete the profile without aggressive bite.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with fruity sweetness taking the lead across the mid-palate. Wheat and oats add a creamy, slightly pillowy texture that rounds the mouthfeel. Noble hops provide a measured 50 IBU bitterness—enough to define the finish without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

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.
