Bubble Stash IPA

Tap to rate

Late-addition Mosaic Cryo Hops are the only hops here, bringing tropical dankness, bright sweet fruit notes and a touch of dank resin, plus Mosaic's natural blueberry, tangerine and stone fruit. Two-row, Caramalt and CaraFoam form the malt base, and the IPA stays easy-drinking at 6.2% ABV and 45 IBU. It comes from Hop Valley, founded in 2009 in Eugene, Oregon.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bubble Stash IPA

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by late-addition Mosaic Cryo Hops, delivering an aromatic blend of ripe tropical stone fruit, tangerine, and subtle blueberry notes layered with a soft, resinous dankness. Beneath the vibrant hop character, the malt base contributes gentle caramel sweetness without overshadowing the bright, fruity top notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and fruit-forward, with bright citrus and stone fruit flavors from the Mosaic hops settling into the mid-palate. The 45 IBUs provide measured bitterness and a subtle herbal-resinous bite that complements rather than dominates, while the malt backbone—Two-row, Caramalt, and CaraFoam—adds body and a touch of sweet berry character. The finish remains balanced and approachable, never harsh or astringent.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering citrus and a subtle tangerine note fading gracefully. At 6.2% ABV, the beer drinks light and refreshing, making the aftertaste more about bright fruit and light resin than heavy alcohol warmth.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
