Interstellar Mist

Modern Times Beer
United States·New England Double IPA
Tap to rate

Interstellar Mist is a hazy double IPA brewed on pilsner malt, oats and white wheat and loaded with Idaho 7 and two concentrated forms of Citra. The glass shows apricot, tangerine and ripe tropical fruit over a layer of orange zest, with a faint resinous note from the Idaho 7. Oats and wheat give a soft, full body that carries the strength smoothly, and the finish is juicy with restrained bitterness.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—apricot and tangerine dominate, supported by waves of ripe mango and passion fruit. Underneath lies a subtle herbaceous thread from Idaho 7, with a whisper of candied orange peel. The oats and wheat provide a soft, grainy undertone that grounds the tropical intensity.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with the oat and wheat base delivering a pillowy, full body that carries the 8% ABV seamlessly. Mid-palate expands into layered citrus and stone fruit, with Idaho 7's resinous character appearing as a dry edge. Bitterness is restrained and well-integrated, finishing clean without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish lingers with gentle tropical notes and a fading herbal bite. Residual sweetness from malt and fruit balances the dry resin, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

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