Karmic Rap Sheet

Tap to rate

Karmic Rap Sheet is a hazy IPA that packs a hop punch into a relatively easy-drinking beer, helped by a generous double dry hop. Tropical and citrus fruit lead the aroma and carry over into mango and orange flavors. Hints of wheat, grass and white pepper bring a little earthiness and balance on the malt side.

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a distinctly hazy, turbid character from the generous dry hop additions. The beer presents a full, persistent head with good lacing retention. Fine carbonation contributes to visual liveliness despite the opacity.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—mango and pineapple—layered with clean citrus notes of orange and grapefruit. Beneath the hop-forward character, subtle malt undertones of wheat and soft grain appear, balanced by a whisper of white pepper and herbal grass that grounds the composition without overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and fruity, with mango and orange moving across the palate in the mid-section. A moderate bittering—supported by the 50 IBU—sits comfortably without aggression, while wheat and grainy malt provide structure and mild earthiness. The beer drinks smooth and refreshing despite its hop intensity, with white pepper adding a subtle peppery lift on the mid-palate.

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.
