Stash Panda Hazy IPA

Tap to rate

A trash panda got into the brewery's stash of Cryo Hops, and Stash Panda was born: Citra Cryo Hops and a hefty helping of grapefruit peel give this hazy IPA a tropical character with unmasked citrus flavor and aroma. It comes in at 6.5% ABV and 50 IBU, from Hop Valley in Oregon.

◎ Appearance

Pale golden yellow with a distinctly hazy, opaque character from suspended yeast and hop matter. A tight white head forms and clings to the glass with good retention. Vibrant carbonation is evident throughout.

◌ Aroma

Bright citrus and tropical fruit dominate, led by grapefruit peel and Citra Cryo Hops that deliver orange zest and juicy stone fruit notes. Underlying soft, biscuity malt provides a subtle backbone without competing with the vivid hop character.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy with upfront citrus flavor—orange and grapefruit—that carries into the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness (50 IBU) remains restrained and balanced, allowing the tropical fruitiness to persist without harshness. Creamy mouthfeel softens the edges while maintaining refreshing character.

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.
