Happyum Imperial IPA

◎ Appearance

Pours a pale straw gold with exceptional clarity and bright transparency. The head forms thin and delicate, settling to a gossamer collar with modest lacing. Carbonation is lively and persistent, evident in steady streams of fine bubbles rising through the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, articulate hop character across four varieties, delivering citrus zest and resinous pine without aggressive harshness. Beneath lies a soft, restrained Malz foundation that supports rather than dominates. There is no alcohol heat on the nose; the aroma remains balanced and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with hop bitterness arriving measured and refined rather than sharp. The mid-palate shows resinous, citrus-forward hop character with a full-bodied mouthfeel that belies the low IBU count. Alcohol integrates seamlessly at 8%, adding weight without harshness or burn.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with lingering hop resin fading gradually into a crisp aftertaste. No cloying sweetness or alcohol bite; the beer exits with the same precision it entered.

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.
