Foam Daddy

Tap to rate

Tropical notes lead, with soft hints of pine and a resinous finish, over a smooth mouthfeel from oats and wheat. Centennial, El Dorado and Simcoe are double dry-hopped in, and the beer carries a good head of foam. Marble brewed this 5.7% IPA to mark lead brewer Tom's time at the brewery, as an ode to his favourite pastime, fly fishing. Vegan, from the Specials.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Foam Daddy

◎ Appearance

Pale gold in color with excellent clarity and a bright, persistent head of fine white foam that clings to the glass with notable retention. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, producing a steady stream of fine bubbles that sustain the head throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by distinct tropical fruit notes—guava and citrus zest—layered with a soft piney undertone from the Edelhopfen blend. A subtle resinous quality emerges beneath, while the oats and wheat provide a delicate grainy sweetness in the background without overwhelming the hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright tropical and citrus flavors that mirror the aroma, while a gentle pine and resinous bitterness develops across the mid-palate at 60 IBU. The oats and wheat create a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel that balances the moderate bitterness, preventing any harsh edges and maintaining drinkability throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the resinous bitterness persisting gently into the aftertaste without lingering excessively. The smooth base carries the hop character through to the end, leaving a pleasant herbal and citrus note.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
