Cutty Haze IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with pronounced haze from suspended yeast and proteins, creating an opaque, cloudy presentation characteristic of the style. The head is modest but persistent, with fine bubbles that form delicate lacing around the glass. Bright carbonation is visible throughout, lending an inviting, lively quality to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with forward tropical and stone fruit notes—ripe peach, mango, and apricot—layered with citrus zest and a subtle floral undertone from the Modern British and US hop blend. Light, clean malt provides a soft base without heaviness. No harsh alcohol or phenolic character; the aroma remains fruit-driven and approachable.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and juicy, with a silky mouthfeel that belies the 50 IBU bittering load. Tropical stone fruits dominate the mid-palate—peach, nectarine, and citrus pith—while a gentle bitterness emerges without sharpness or metallic edges. The beer maintains balance throughout, with restrained hop bitterness and a clean fermentation profile that allows fruit character to shine.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry yet refreshing, with lingering citrus notes and a subtle stone fruit fade. Bitterness trails gently without overstaying; the beer leaves the palate clean and thirst-quenching.
