White grape, citrus peel and dank tropical hops hit fast and clean in this Northwest IPA at 7% ABV. Krush brings stonefruit and citrus, Mosaic berry and tropical depth, Nelson Sauvin grape and elderflower. Moersleutel calls it a sharp, PNW-style hop slap, not a haze bomb, with a clean bitterness, a lean malt base and a dry finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a fresh, bright citrus peel character upfront with prominent white grape and stone fruit notes from Krush, layered by Mosaic's berry and tropical depth. Nelson Sauvin brings distinctive white wine-like grape qualities alongside delicate elderflower, while dank herbal notes provide earthiness beneath the fruit. The overall impression is clean and lifted, without aggressive resin or heavy floral perfume.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and direct with citrus and tropical fruit forward, the lean malt base supporting without sweetness or fullness. Mid-palate develops berry complexity and a subtle floral character, while the hop bitterness builds progressively—sharp and clean rather than harsh, with good definition against the dry backbone. The finish arrives quickly, leaving behind dank herbal notes and a mineral-like quality that emphasizes the beer's crispness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, with lingering dank and herbal notes that fade cleanly without bitterness overstay. A crisp, mineral aftertaste underscores the beer's Northwest-style precision and drinkability.

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.
