Dayglow

Tap to rate

Juicy hops bring pineapple and tropical fruit, led by sunny Mosaic with touches of El Dorado and Centennial. A little wheat hazes the pale and C-15 malt bill and softens the beer, which runs light to medium in body at 7.4 % ABV and 65 IBU. Elysian has this IPA crash the party with the insistent beat of its hops.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dayglow

◎ Appearance

Dayglow presents a pale golden hue with a noticeable haze from the wheat addition, creating a soft, inviting cloudiness rather than crystal clarity. The head is pillowy and persistent, with fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass as you drink. Carbonation is brisk and visible, lending an effervescent quality to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright tropical fruit—pineapple and stone fruits leap forward, backed by the signature character of Mosaic hops. Secondary notes of citrus zest and a whisper of herbal green from El Dorado and Centennial round out the bouquet. Underneath, a soft bready note from the wheat and base Malz grounds the aroma without asserting dominance.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and medium-bodied, with the wheat Malz softening the palate and inviting the hop character to take center stage. Mid-palate bursts with tropical juice and bright citrus, while a moderate bitterness (65 IBU) arrives as a clean, structured counterweight rather than a sharp attack. The finish remains dry and hoppy, never harsh, with the 7.4% ABV sitting lightly in the body.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is crisp and relatively brief, fading to a faint herbal and citrus echo. The moderate IBU leaves a pleasant, non-lingering dryness that invites the next 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.
