Prickly Pear Juicy IPA

Tap to rate

Big hop aromas of lime, guava, peach and orange marmalade meet a velvety, smooth mouthfeel in this hazy IPA. To make this hazy IPA juicier still, the brewers added a bounty of Gozitan prickly pears, and wheat sits in the grist beside the malted barley. 7.0% ABV and 40 IBU; vegan.

◎ Appearance

A hazy, pale golden body with soft turbidity from wheat and yeast suspension. The dense, pillowy head displays good retention and forms a delicate white lacing that clings gently to the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

Bold hop-driven aromatics open with lime zest and guava, followed by stone fruit notes of ripe peach and orange marmalade. Beneath the citrus and tropical fruit sits a subtle floral and herbal backdrop from the Edelhopfen, with a soft sweetness from wheat and malted barley.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with bright citrus and stone fruit—peach and orange lead the charge—while the 40 IBU bitterness remains restrained and herbaceous rather than aggressive. The velvety mouthfeel, enhanced by wheat in the grist, creates a smooth, almost creamy sensation, and the prickly pear contribution adds a subtle tartness and juiciness that balances the hop intensity.

◑ Finish

A clean, moderately short finish lingers with gentle hop bitterness and a whisper of peach and orange. The aftertaste remains refreshing and slightly tart, without harsh drying notes.

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.
