Wahoo

Tap to rate

Wahoo is the Haring's go-to IPA. Its dry hop of Azacca, Centennial and Citra gives it a tropical fruity character, met by a balanced bitterness and a soft mouthfeel. Pale, oat and Carapils malts and S-04 yeast build a 6 % ABV beer designed for thirst-quenching drinkability, and the brewery's advice is simple: don't overthink it, just yell Wahoo.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wahoo

◎ Appearance

Wahoo presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head forms quickly and shows good retention, with delicate Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass throughout the pour. Carbonation is visible and lively, creating a fine, persistent bead.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by tropical fruit notes—mango, papaya, and pineapple emerge from the dry hop combination of Azacca, Centennial, and Citra. Citrus undertones of grapefruit and lime provide crisp definition, while the pale Malz base contributes a subtle grain sweetness in the background without overwhelming the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with tropical and citrus flavors unfolding across the mid-palate in a seamless progression. The 60 IBU bitterness is present and balanced, providing structure without harshness, while the oat and Carapils Malz create a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel. The finish is clean and drying, with a restrained hop bite that invites another sip.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
