Herslev Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and proteins, creating an opaque, cloud-like appearance characteristic of the style. The dense, cream-colored head forms readily and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving gentle lacing on the way down. Effervescence is moderate and even throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—lemon zest and tangerine—layered with tropical fruit notes of mango and passionfruit from the organic Edelhopfen. A subtle wheat grain character and mild cereal sweetness from the malt bill provide a soft base, while yeast-derived fruitiness adds roundness without harshness.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with the hop fruitiness dominating the palate rather than sharp bitterness. Mid-palate reveals layers of orange, mango, and stone fruit balanced by a creamy mouthfeel from the oat content and fine suspension. The 50 IBU bitterness is present but restrained, providing structure without drying or harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and thirst-quenching, with the tropical fruit notes fading to a light herbal whisper. The aftertaste remains refreshing and clean, inviting another sip without any lingering astringency.
