Lack of Vision

◎ Appearance

Lack of Vision presents a distinctly hazy, pale golden appearance characteristic of the style, with suspended yeast and hop particles creating a soft, diffused quality. The head forms with moderate density and persists with fine Schaumkleiden, while the carbonation appears lively yet restrained. At 5 SRM, the color sits in the lighter end of the spectrum, allowing light to pass through with a slightly cloudy luminosity.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with punchy Citra and Nelson Sauvin character—bright citrus zest, white grapefruit, and herbaceous stone fruit blend seamlessly. Rakau adds a subtle spice and herbal undertone, while the 10% ABV contributes gentle warmth without alcoholic harshness. A light, creamy yeast backdrop from fermentation softens the overall impression without obscuring the hop-forward character.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with the triple IPA's elevated alcohol providing structure and creamy mouthfeel. Mid-palate unfolds with layered hop bitterness—50 IBU striking a balance rather than overwhelming—alongside persistent citrus and passionfruit notes. The sweetness from underlying malz remains subtle, allowing the hop profile to dominate through to the finish without becoming thin or harsh.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with a lingering hop bitterness and residual stone-fruit sweetness that fades gradually. Aftertaste is clean and refreshing, with mild alcohol warmth persisting without dryness.
