Beak Breaker Hazy

Tap to rate

Juicy citrus and dank hop character meet stone fruit and berry aromas, with notes of ripe peach and mango. This hazy extension of the original Beak Breaker is a Double IPA brewed with Mosaic and Strata hops plus two-row and white wheat malt. It lands at 8.7% ABV and 40 IBU and tastes deliciously elusive, as the brewery puts it.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with juicy citrus and stone fruit—ripe peach and mango dominate, supported by berry undertones. Beneath the fruit sits a pronounced dank, resinous hop character that brings herbaceous depth and earthy green notes. White wheat malt adds a soft, grainy backdrop without sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright, juicy citrus and tropical fruit that immediately coats the mouth with flavor. Mid-palate brings layers of peach and berry complexity, with a subtle dank hop bite that builds steadily. Bitterness arrives soft and integrated at 40 IBU—present but not aggressive, allowing fruit character to remain central.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
