Tropical IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale golden in the glass with a soft, diffuse quality characteristic of the style. A modest white head forms on the pour and settles to a thin collar with fair retention and lacing. The cloudiness stems from suspended yeast and proteins rather than oxidation, presenting a naturally opaque body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced mango and pineapple notes, lifted by the Amarillo and Idaho 7 hops into a bright tropical bouquet. Underlying stone fruit and citrus zest add depth, while a subtle sweetness from the Malz provides balance without dominating. The aromatic profile is clean and fruit-forward, with no harsh or vegetal notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with juicy tropical fruit and medium body, the mango and pineapple flavors mirrored from the aroma and reinforced through the mid-palate. Hop bitterness rises gradually to around 50 IBU, offering structure without astringency. A creamy texture softens the finish, allowing the fruit character and gentle bitterness to coexist without conflict.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, with citrus and stone fruit lingering for a moderate duration. The hop bitterness fades to a pleasant dryness, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
