Tropical Hazy Blues

Tap to rate

Pineapple, mango, peach and citrus lead this 7.0% juicy IPA, with ripe fruit up front, a soft hanging haze and a finish that asks for another sip. Galaxy, Krush, Citra, El Dorado and Amarillo hops do all the work: the brewery adds no fruit and no added flavors. The brewery's page lists tropical as its flavor profile. A seasonal release.

◌ Aroma

Pineapple and mango jump immediately from the nose, followed by citrus zest and ripe peach. The hop blend—Galaxy, Krush, Citra, El Dorado, and Amarillo—delivers layered tropical fruit without any candy-like sweetness or artificial character. Underlying malt provides a light, dry support that keeps the aroma fresh and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright tropical fruit and stone fruit flavors that align with the aroma's promise. Mid-palate remains soft and vollmundig, showcasing juicy peach and citrus without harshness, while the 60 IBU bitterness arrives gradually and sits comfortably—present but never dominant. The finish is dry and slightly grassy, inviting the next sip without overstaying.

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.

About Fruited IPA
