Banger IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden yellow with a pronounced haze from suspended yeast and wheat proteins, giving the beer a soft, cloudy appearance. A dense, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacing as the beer is consumed. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by tropical fruit esters—mango and passionfruit—with distinct melon notes underneath. Strata and Simcoe hops contribute bright citrus top notes of grapefruit and lemon zest, while the English ale yeast adds a subtle fruity undertone. White wheat brings a soft grain impression without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with tropical and citrus flavors developing immediately on the palate. Mid-palate reveals layers of stone fruit and a gentle wheat character that rounds out the hop bitterness. The 29 IBU hopping is restrained, allowing the fruit-forward character to remain the focus while a soft, lingering bitterness supports the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with tropical fruit and a whisper of herbal hop character persisting. No harsh bitterness or astringency remains—just a refreshing, dry aftertaste.
