Rooster Illusion Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with pronounced turbidity from suspended yeast and protein, characteristic of the hazy IPA style. A dense, pillowy white head forms and clings to the glass with persistent adhesion. Fine carbonation creates a softly effervescent presence.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruit leads the nose, with distinct pineapple and mango layered beneath bright citrus notes of orange and grapefruit. The Cosmic Punch Ale yeast contributes an underlying passion fruit and guava character that deepens the aromatic profile. Subtle floral Edelhopfen character supports without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens juicy and full-bodied, with stone fruit and citrus flavors that mirror the nose. Mid-palate brings waves of orange and tropical notes in balance with a creamy, lush mouthfeel that masks the 9% ABV. Moderate bitterness at 50 IBU arrives late and cleanly, finishing with a dry citric edge.

◑ Finish

The finish is refreshingly dry with lingering citrus and tropical stone fruit notes. The bitterness fades smoothly, leaving a clean palate with faint orange zest.
