Hazyum Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazyum presents a pale golden hue filtered through persistent cloudiness from locally sourced wheat and oats, creating an opaque, soft appearance characteristic of the style. The head forms quickly and holds with moderate persistence, displaying fine white lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is gentle and supportive, never aggressive, allowing the suspended grain particles to remain visibly suspended throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with juicy tropical fruit aromatics—guava and passionfruit are immediately apparent, supported by gentle stone fruit notes that suggest ripe peach and apricot. Beneath these bright Edelhopfen characteristics lies a soft, almost creamy grain base from the wheat and oat bill, which adds body and texture to the aroma without competing for dominance. There is no sharp resinous edge; instead, the profile remains rounded and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate entry is smooth and juicy, with the stone fruit and tropical hop character immediately taking center stage without astringency. Mid-palate reveals the contribution of wheat and oats—a subtle sweetness and creamy mouthfeel that anchor the fruit expression, while bittering remains restrained at 34 IBU, allowing stone fruit to persist rather than fade into woody dryness. The moderate 6.9% ABV keeps the beer light and refreshing, avoiding any alcohol-driven warmth that might overshadow the delicate hop profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium-length, with tropical and stone fruit notes fading gradually into a soft, slightly creamy aftertaste from the grain base. Dryness arrives only at the very end, leaving the palate refreshed rather than parched or astringent.

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.
