The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dancing Gnome Stellar Jay Hazy IPA

Appearance

Stellar Jay pours a hazy golden-amber with excellent turbidity that showcases the beer's intentional cloudiness. A thick, creamy white head forms and persists nicely, while the generous carbonation creates a soft, pillowy texture that defines the style.

Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright tropical fruit esters—ripe mango and pineapple lead, with supporting notes of citrus zest from the Citra and Mosaic hops. A subtle grainy malt sweetness provides balance without any sharp hop bite in the aroma.

Taste

The palate opens soft and juicy with immediately apparent tropical and citrus notes that coat the mouth pleasantly. The mid-palate maintains a smooth, medium body with continued stone fruit and citrus character, while the low 35 IBU bitterness keeps the beer refreshing and approachable rather than aggressive.

Finish

The finish is clean and crisp with lingering citrus notes that fade gracefully. No harsh bitterness or astringency—just a pleasant, dry conclusion that invites another sip.
