Electric Unicorn

Tap to rate

A white IPA that sets sweet banana and fruit notes against a citrus hop background and finishes dry. Barley, wheat and oats all go into the grist, which is what gives the style its body and haze. At 6.5 percent it sits among the stronger beers in the range.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Electric Unicorn

◎ Appearance

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced banana and stone fruit esters, characteristic of the wheat and oat contribution to the grist. Behind this sits a bright citrus hop presence—grapefruit and orange zest—with subtle herbal undertones that frame without overwhelming. The overall effect is fruity and inviting, with yeast-derived sweetness complementing noble hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with soft malt sweetness—wheat and oat lend a pillowy texture and gentle sweetness—before citrus hops assert themselves across the mid-palate with grapefruit and zest. Bitterness builds gradually and finishes dry, creating a balanced tension between fruity sweetness and herbal hop bite. The 6.5% ABV sits lightly in the frame, allowing the interplay of grain and hop to dominate without heat.

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.
