Carlow Brewing Company
Ireland·Hazy IPA
Tap to rate

A fruit-forward hazy IPA at 5.0 %, unfiltered and golden yellow under a white head. Mosaic, Citra, Amarillo and El Dorado are added at several stages before and after fermentation; the nose shows citrus, grapefruit, orange peel and tropical fruit. Oats and caramalt build a full body with a soft, creamy texture, the taste stays with rich tropical flavours, and the finish carries only a slight bitterness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for White Haze IPA

◎ Appearance

Golden yellow with a luminous quality, presenting a full white head that settles into persistent lacing. The beer displays natural turbidity characteristic of an unfiltered hazy IPA, with suspended particles creating a soft, cloudy appearance that diffuses light evenly throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—grapefruit and orange peel—layered with tropical fruit character from the Mosaic, Citra, Amarillo, and El Dorado hop blend. Beneath the hop-driven aromatics, soft Malz undertones provide a gentle textural foundation without dominating the overall impression.

◐ Taste

Entry brings forward tropical fruit flavours with a soft, creamy mouthfeel built by oats and caramalt. The mid-palate remains fruit-forward and full-bodied, with the caramalt contributing subtle sweetness that balances the hop character without creating cloying notes. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the fruit complexity to persist.

◑ Finish

The finish fades gently, with only slight bitterness lingering as residual hop character dissipates. The creamy mouthfeel carries through to the end, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste.

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.
