Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Classic Hazy Double IPA

◎ Appearance

Pours a light golden hue with a hazy, opaque body characteristic of the style. The head forms with modest volume and settles to a thin collar with fair lacing retention on the glass. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the cloudy suspension.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical stone fruit—peach and apricot—layered beneath bright citrus notes of grapefruit and tangerine. Subtle Edelhopfen character brings herbal complexity without aggression, while a soft malt backbone provides gentle sweetness and depth without dominating the hop-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and rounded, with the promised sweetness integrating smoothly on entry. Mid-palate develops stone fruit and citrus flavors that evolve into a moderate, clean bitterness—restrained at 50 IBU and well-balanced by the beer's creamy mouthfeel. The finish remains light and refreshing without astringency.

Tulip glass

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