Tap to rate

Hazy IPA at 7% ABV and a citrus splash: juicy tangerine takes the citrus character of Broken Heels to the next level.

Made with limestone-rich northern Pennsylvania water.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tangerine Broken Heels

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with pronounced haziness from suspended yeast and proteins, characteristic of the style. The dense, pillowy head forms quickly and clings to the glass walls with fine lacing. Bright carbonation remains visible throughout, creating an inviting, lively presentation.

◌ Aroma

Vibrant citrus leads the nose, with tangerine peel and fresh orange dominating the foreground, lifted by the Citra and Mosaic hops. Subtle tropical notes—mango and passion fruit—emerge beneath the citrus intensity. Light hop greenery and a clean, neutral malt base support without intruding, allowing the stone fruit and citrus character to breathe.

◐ Taste

Juicy citrus entry with tangerine and orange flavors that coat the palate, followed by a smooth, slightly creamy mid-section from the haze-inducing proteins. Moderate hop bitterness—around 50 IBU—integrates cleanly without harshness, balancing the fruit character. Soft malt sweetness underpins the profile without weight, creating a drinkable, approachable finish.

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.
