Stormburst IPA

◎ Appearance

Stormburst presents a pale yellow body rendered distinctly cloudy, characteristic of the New England IPA style. The suspended yeast and wheat adjuncts create a soft, diffuse opacity rather than brilliant clarity. A modest white head forms and recedes gently, leaving light traces of lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with an assertive tropical fruit intensity, dominated by ripe mango and tangerine notes that lead the charge. Secondary layers of orchard fruit—apple and stone fruit—emerge beneath, while lasting citrus complexity sustains the profile without sharpness. The Mosaic, El Dorado, and Azacca hop blend delivers aromatic depth without vegetal or resinous edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, the oats and wheat providing a creamy mouthfeel that buffers any perceived bitterness. Mango and tangerine remain the focal point through the mid-palate, echoing the aroma with juicy presence. Bitterness is restrained throughout—the 13 IBU are barely perceptible—allowing the fruit-forward hop character to dominate without drying the palate.

◑ Finish

The finish softens toward the exit, retaining gentle citrus and orchard fruit notes without harshness or lingering bite. Aftertaste is clean and brief, the caramalt providing subtle sweetness that prevents astringency.
