Try Harder

◎ Appearance

Try Harder presents as a golden, hazy IPA with a luminous quality in the glass. The haziness comes from oat flakes and yeast in suspension, lending a soft, diffuse appearance. Head retention is moderate, with fine bubbles clinging to the glass walls.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads decisively with ripe grape skin character, followed by tropical stone fruit notes of mango, papaya, and nectarine. Beneath the fruit runs a resinous, herbal hop signature that adds depth and complexity. The interplay creates an assertive, layered aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and slightly creamy from the oat adjunct, allowing the hop and fruit characteristics to unfold across the palate. Mid-palate shows continued grape and tropical notes with a firm, dry bitterness that arrives cleanly at 25 IBU. The finish is crisp and lingering, with herbal-resinous tones drying the mouth.

◑ Finish

The finish extends medium-long with a persistent dry quality. Resinous and herbal notes linger, anchoring the memory of this collaborative brew.
