🌍 United States · Hazy IPA · One of 113 Hazy IPAs in hopIQ

Mortal Bloom Sinister Haze is a hazy IPA of 6.5 percent from the brewery's Mortal Bloom line, hopped with Citra and HBC 638 over a base of wheat malt and oats. It pours with a moderate haze. Juicy orange and ripe peach lead the aroma, lifted by a fresh floral note. The oats and wheat give a soft, silky body, bitterness is kept low, and the finish is smooth and rounded.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mortal Bloom Sinister Haze

◎ Appearance

Pours with a pale golden hue and moderate haze that catches the light distinctly. The cloudiness comes from the wheat and oat base, creating a soft, diffused appearance rather than aggressive turbidity. Head retention is moderate with a fine, delicate collar that gradually subsides.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright juicy orange and ripe stone fruit — specifically peach — that dominates the foreground. Underneath, a fresh floral note lifts the composition, likely from the Citra and HBC 638 hop blend. The wheat and oat base contributes a subtle, clean grain sweetness that frames without overwhelming.

The palate enters soft and rounded, the oats and wheat delivering a silky texture that coats the mouth without heaviness. The fruit character carries through cleanly, with citrus and peach notes lingering gently across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 60 IBU, providing structure without assertiveness or harshness.
