Cryo Stash IIPA

◎ Appearance

Golden amber hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A dense, creamy head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass walls with fine, tight lacing. Carbonation is brisk and lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by tropical stone fruit and citrus notes—passion fruit and mango lead, supported by distinct orange and resinous hop character from Cryo Simcoe, Ekuanot and Citra. Beneath the hop intensity lies a subtle sweet malt foundation with candied cracker and light caramel undertones that do not compete with the aromatic hops.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and round, with the tropical hop character seamlessly integrated into a substantive malt body. Mid-palate delivers pronounced citrus and resinous notes balanced by the sweet, slightly toasted cracker and caramel profile from 2 Row, Caramalt and Carafoam. The 40 IBU bitterness is restrained and refined—a dry, hoppy finish rather than aggressive bite—allowing the fruit-forward complexity to remain prominent throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and dry, with lingering resinous and citrus notes that gradually fade into a subtle warm alcohol impression. The 9% ABV provides presence without astringency or heat.
