Is This It?

Tap to rate

Is This It? brings serious hop presence into a frame that feels effortless to drink. The aroma announces layers of ripe mango, passionfruit and juicy peach, then pink grapefruit, sweet orange and fresh citrus tumble forward, backed by a subtle resinous, piney edge that keeps the fruit from running flat. The body is soft, hazy and pillowy—a structure that lets the hop character land without weight—while the mouthfeel rounds out smooth and clean. The finish stays refreshing and alive. At 5.2%, this is a beer that wears its fruit-forward ambition lightly, built for slow evening drinking when you want aroma and drinkability in equal measure.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Is This It?

◎ Appearance

A hazy, luminous golden-orange complexion sits beneath a persistent white head that clings to the glass with fine, delicate lacing. The turbidity is intentional and inviting, created by suspension through the hefe rather than settling. Carbonation is bright and lively, visible as fine bubbles that sustain the visual energy throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe stone fruit—mango and peach—followed by passion fruit and juicy citrus notes that unfold as the beer warms. A subtle resinous, piney undercurrent threads through the tropical fruit, preventing any flabbiness and anchoring the aroma with dry botanical depth. The hop character is clean and inviting, with no harsh or vegetal edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and rounded, the pillowy body carrying tropical and stone-fruit flavors across the palate without heaviness. Mid-palate reveals layers of pink grapefruit and sweet orange, while a mild resinous bitterness keeps the sweetness in check and lends structure. The finish is dry and clean, never cloying, with the hop bitterness receding to let fruitiness carry through.
