Loop State

◎ Appearance

Loop State presents a bright, pale yellow hue with a distinctly hazy appearance, characteristic of the style. The cloudiness derives from suspended yeast and proteins rather than oxidation, lending a soft, approachable visual character. A pillowy white head forms readily and displays moderate retention, with fine lacing clinging to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical stone fruit—mango and apricot—layered with bright citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon zest. Reclaimed Citra and Simcoe hops provide a resinous, piney backbone, while Nectaron amplifies floral honeyed tones and subtle white pepper complexity. The overall impression is fresh and aromatic without harsh alcoholic warmth.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft, creamy malt sweetness that balances the assertive hop bitterness. Mid-palate reveals layered tropical and citrus character—peach and blood orange dominate, with lingering resinous and slightly herbal undertones from the hop bill. The 50 IBU bitter charge is clean and defined, never harsh, building gradually across the tongue.

◑ Finish

The finish is refreshingly dry with moderate length, as bitter and citrus notes fade into a subtle resinous aftertaste. A light drying sensation persists without astringency, inviting another sip.
