Tropical Rabbit

Tap to rate

A mild malt body leaves the stage to Eclipse, Galaxy and Vic Secret hops, and the glass tastes of orange, pineapple and peach. This Tropical IPA runs 6.8% ABV at 29 IBU, with a medium-light body and a golden colour. Oat flakes and white wheat malt sit alongside the two-row pale base, and Mt. Hood joins the hop bill.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical stone fruit—orange zest, ripe peach, and pineapple juice dominate the initial impression. A clean, grassy hop character emerges beneath, with subtle white wheat and oat flake notes providing a soft, cereal-like backdrop. The aromatic profile is fresh and direct, without aggressive resinous or herbal edges.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a light, clean malt foundation that steps aside quickly for the hop-driven fruit expression. Mid-palate brings concentrated flavors of orange, peach, and tropical citrus, while the white wheat and oat flakes add a gentle, slightly dry texture. Bitterness is restrained at 29 IBU, offering balance rather than assertion—a pleasant, finishing dryness rather than sharp bite.

◑ Finish

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.
