Hopadillo Hazy

Tap to rate

Subtle waves of citrus and tropical hops run through this Hazy IPA, with the bite softened and the pour dense and cloudy. Citra and Mosaic carry the hop bill over pale two-row, flaked wheat and flaked oats. It's the foggy side of Karbach's Hopadillo, the creature of the brand's lore, here stepping quietly through swamp mist at 6.0 % and 20 IBU.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hopadillo Hazy

◎ Appearance

Pale straw to pale gold, rendered fully opaque by suspension through yeast and oats. The dense, cloudy pour sits beneath a loose, quickly settling head. Carbonation appears moderate, creating a soft, pillowed body in the glass.

◌ Aroma

Citra and Mosaic hops lead with bright citrus rind and stone fruit—peach and nectarine—over a gentle, grainy Malz backdrop. Subtle wheat and oat notes add a bready warmth without heaviness. The overall impression is clean and forward, with no harsh resinous edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and smooth, the sweetness of pale Malz and flaked wheat meeting low bitterness early. Mid-palate expands into tropical stone fruit and citrus zest, supported by a creamy mouthfeel from oats. Bitterness remains restrained at 20 IBU, never assertive, allowing fruit to occupy the center.

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.
