Dragonfly Blossom

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a hazy, opaque quality characteristic of the New England IPA style. A thick, creamy head forms and clings to the glass with visible lacing. Fine carbonation creates a soft, pillowy mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose bursts with tropical fruit—honeydew melon and strawberry from Huell Melon, layered with bright citrus and passion fruit character. Mosaic and Citra hops add grapefruit zest and depth, while Simcoe introduces a subtle pine and herbal undertone. The overall impression is vibrant and juicy, with minimal resinous dryness.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and creamy, with a full body that belies the modest 6% ABV. Tropical and citrus notes develop across the mid-palate—grapefruit, melon, and stone fruit—with a gentle hop character that stays integrated rather than aggressive. Bitterness is restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the fruit complexity to shine without sharp edges or astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and moderately long, fading gracefully with lingering citrus and melon notes. No harsh dryness remains; instead, a soft, fruity aftertaste invites another sip.
