Fertile Green

Tap to rate

Pineapple and mango lead, rolling into peach nectar and passionfruit under a pillowy haze. Fertile Green is a Hazy Double IPA built on Freestyle Waimea hops on the hot side, a first dry hop of Krush and Nelson Sauvin, and a finish of Freestyle Peacharine hop kief that the brewers had been saving to finish it.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Fertile Green

◎ Appearance

Fertile Green presents a hazy, pale golden body with a soft, pillowy white head that settles into gentle lacing around the glass. The cloudiness from the dry hops and suspended yeast creates an opaque, inviting appearance characteristic of the hazy IPA style. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent pineapple and mango notes, leading into sweet peach nectar and passionfruit aromatics that roll across the palate before a resinous, woody character emerges from the Freestyle Waimea base. Nelson Sauvin and Krush contribute stone fruit and subtle herbal complexity, while the Peacharine kief finish adds a delicate peachy perfume. A light floral undertone balances the fruit-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is bold with tropical fruit—pineapple and mango—that transitions into soft peach and passionfruit on the mid-palate, creating a juicy, full sensation. The 50 IBU bitterness arrives measured and clean, providing structural support without overwhelming the fruit complexity. A subtle resinous hop character and creamy mouthfeel give weight and texture, finishing with lingering stone fruit and a whisper of hop spice.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long, with fading peach and passionfruit notes trailing into a dry, slightly resinous aftertaste. A refreshing, clean close leaves the palate ready for the next sip without harsh astringency.

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.
