🌍 United States · Fruited IPA · One of 23 Fruited IPAs in hopIQ

#ISO is a triple-strength IPA brewed each year with organic dragon fruit from Nicaragua, which gives the beer its bright pink colour and an off-white head. Mosaic and Citra from the Pacific Northwest supply the hop side. The nose opens with ripe cherry, raspberry and grapefruit, and the palate follows with pitaya, mango and a touch of peach. The body is rich and medium-full, so the sweetness lingers well into the finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for #ISO

◎ Appearance

Bright pink hue dominates the glass, a direct result of the organic dragon fruit infusion. The off-white head forms with moderate density and persists gently, leaving delicate rings of lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is visible and lively, supporting the visual presentation of this elevated IPA.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced stone fruit character: ripe cherry and raspberry are immediately apparent, joined by bright grapefruit notes from the Mosaic and Citra hops. These Pacific Northwest varieties provide crisp citrus backbone that frames the fruit-forward entry. The pitaya character adds subtle tropical depth without overwhelming the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate follows the aromatics with layered fruit expression: pitaya and mango arrive early, supported by a gentle peach undertone. The 60 IBUs provide structure and a measured bitterness that balances the fruit sweetness without dominating. The medium-full body carries these flavors through the mid-palate with richness that sustains the drinking experience.

◑ Finish

The finish extends the sweetness appreciably, with lingering fruit character and a dry, resinous hop impression in the final moments. At 10.3% ABV, the alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated into the overall structure.
