Candy Hearts

◎ Appearance

Candy Hearts presents a pale golden hue with a hazy, slightly turbid appearance characteristic of the milkshake IPA style. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft effervescence to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced coconut and pineapple notes from the early Sabro addition, setting an immediate tropical character. As it develops, passionfruit and peach gummies emerge alongside subtle orange peel, while the oat and lactose adjuncts provide a creamy, soft undertone that rounds the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate is dominated by a tropical sorbet quality with layers of peach, passionfruit cream, and juicy citrus. The oats and lactose create a smooth, pillowy texture that tempers hop bitterness to a moderate background presence. Sweet fruit notes flow through the mid-palate without cloying, while gentle orange zest adds complexity to the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and fruity, with lingering sweetness from the lactose and a gentle hoppy dryness that fades evenly. Tropical and peach notes persist softly into the aftertaste without becoming overly sweet or sticky.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

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