Brewmaster Tropical Hazy IPA

Tap to rate

A hazy IPA at 6.8%, heavily dry-hopped and brewed with a large share of oats and wheat, which give it a silky, full body. The nose is tropical and citrusy, with orange, grapefruit and a subtle pineapple note. Citrus fruit continues on the palate, bitterness stays soft, and the finish is smooth. It began as a limited collaboration and is now a regular part of the range.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Brewmaster Tropical Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with pronounced cloudiness from suspended yeast and grain proteins, characteristic of the style. A dense, creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass with good persistence. Bright carbonation animates the body without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit—orange zest, grapefruit, and a subtle pineapple undertone—followed by herbal and resinous hop character. Beneath the citrus lies a soft, bready malt foundation from the oat and wheat blend, adding depth without sweetness. No harsh alcohol or harsh oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Silky entry driven by the oat-wheat bill, giving a full yet refined body that feels luxurious on the palate. Citrus fruit—particularly orange and grapefruit—flows through the mid-palate, with bitterness remaining restrained and integrated rather than sharp. The dry-hopping adds complexity without astringency, allowing malt sweetness and hop character to coexist in balance.

◑ Finish

The finish transitions smoothly from mid-palate, with lingering citrus notes and a gentle resinous dryness. Aftertaste is clean and measured, fading to a faint peppery hop note without any harsh or metallic edge.

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.
