West Coastin' Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale straw to golden yellow, with pronounced haze from unfiltered yeast suspension throughout the body. A thick, creamy white head forms on the pour and maintains excellent Schaumhaftung down the glass. Fine carbonation creates a soft, pillowy mouthfeel consistent with the style.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruit and citrus notes dominate, driven by the Mosaic, Galaxy, and Wai-iti hop blend. Passionfruit, mango, and subtle orange zest emerge on the nose, with a soft, fruity undertone from the yeast. Minimal Malz character allows the Edelhopfen expression to lead without competing herbaceous or resinous edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus and stone fruit from the hops, balanced by a light, grainy Malz backbone that adds body without heaviness. Moderate bitterness (50 IBU) arrives mid-palate as a gentle, peppery finish rather than sharp bite. Creamy mouthfeel softens the edges and enhances drinkability; the 5.5% ABV keeps the beer refreshing and sessionable throughout.

◑ Finish

Clean, dry finish with lingering tropical and citrus notes fading to a subtle grain whisper. The aftertaste remains crisp and refreshing rather than sticky or astringent, inviting another sip.
