Tropic Turbo

Tap to rate

Pineapple, passion fruit and guava lead this hazy IPA, all of it drawn from a hop mix of Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin and Maui Nelson. Oats, wheat and rye give it a soft, full body at 5.5% ABV. Moersleutel in Alkmaar calls it a summer thirst-quencher with tropical character, just bitter enough to stay balanced, best enjoyed with friends.

◐ Taste

The entry is smooth and approachable, with tropical fruit flavors immediately present but not cloying. Mid-palate develops a gentle, creamy mouthfeel from the oat and rye blend, while Mosaic hops layer in citrus and subtle berry notes. A balanced bitterness emerges in the center without dominating, maintaining refreshment and drinkability at its modest 5.5% ABV.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
