Mirage

◎ Appearance

Mirage presents a pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, cloudy body characteristic of New England-style IPA. The foam sits with moderate density and fair persistence, leaving delicate lacing down the glass. Fine carbonation supports a soft, pillowy mouthfeel throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit notes from Galaxy and Vic Secret hops—pineapple, passionfruit, and subtle stone fruit. A grassy, herbal undertone adds dimension, while the wheat and flaked oats contribute gentle grain sweetness without dominating. The Verdant IPA yeast remains restrained, allowing hop character to lead.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with the ultra-pale Malz foundation providing a clean, neutral canvas for hop expression. Mid-palate delivers sustained tropical and citrus flavors balanced against a moderate, integrated bitterness (50 IBU). The oat and wheat bill rounds the texture, preventing any astringency while maintaining crisp definition.

◑ Finish

The finish lingers with gentle dryness, hop bitterness fading gracefully into a clean aftertaste. No harshness or sticky sweetness remains—just a refreshing, dry conclusion.
