Wet Hop IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with pronounced haze from suspension through the hefe. The head forms a dense white collar that clings persistently to the glass walls, demonstrating strong schaumhaftung. Carbonation is moderate and steady, with fine bubbles rising through the turbid body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright mango and stone fruit, followed by distinct grapefruit zest and white pepper from the Cascade hops. A delicate graininess sits beneath, suggesting gentle malz character without heaviness. The overall impression is clean and herbaceous, with no fermentation heat or oxidation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with citrus sweetness—ripe grapefruit and orange pith—that transitions to a crisp, moderately bitter mid-palate. At 50 IBU, the hop bitterness is present but restrained, allowing the tropical fruit flavors to remain dominant. The mouthfeel is soft and slightly creamy, with good body for its modest ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering grapefruit bitterness that fades cleanly within seconds. A subtle graininess emerges as the beer warms, reinforcing its Cascade hop character without astringency.
