Mind Haze Cosmic Crusher

◎ Appearance

Light golden to pale amber hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting presentation. The head forms with good volume and displays fine, persistent lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is evident and lively, contributing to the overall fresh and well-integrated character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical stone fruit—prominent pineapple and ripe mango aromatics that define the profile. Beneath the fruit sits a soft, bready malted grain foundation that grounds the composition without competing. Noble hop character emerges subtly, with gentle citrus and herbal undertones that frame the fruit without adding sharpness.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and succulent, with juicy mango and pineapple flavors coating the palate immediately. The mid-palate reveals a full, rounded malt body that supports the fruit without heaviness, while bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the ripe stone fruit to dominate. The interplay between sweetness and subtle hop definition maintains balance and prevents any cloying sensation.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with a gentle warmth from the 9.5% alcohol, which integrates seamlessly rather than asserting itself. Aftertaste lingers with residual fruit sweetness and a soft, clean malt fade that resolves smoothly.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
