Endless Summer

Tap to rate

Fruity and tropical, with citrus and grapefruit and a bitter finish: that is Endless Summer. The DDH Hazy IPA (6.8% ABV) pairs NZ Cascade with Kohia Nelson, and the recipe is short: water, barley, wheat and oat malt, hops and yeast, which keep the body soft and creamy.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit notes—pineapple and passionfruit—supported by citrus zest and white grapefruit. The New Zealand hops contribute herbal and slightly resinous undertones, while the soft malt base adds a gentle sweetness without dominating the profile. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no harsh or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a creamy, soft entry derived from oat and wheat malt, establishing an approachable foundation. Mid-palate brings forward fruity and citric character balanced by moderate hop bitterness that builds gradually. The finish carries a clean bitter edge that lingers pleasantly without becoming astringent or overly dry.

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