Glide

Tap to rate

Tropical sweetness bursts from the nose, then dank resin meets passion fruit and strawberry, with kiwi and a little pine for balance. Think dank Umbungo, says the brewery. Glide is a 7% NEIPA with Mosaic, Simcoe and Strata hops and a silky smooth mouthfeel, brewed in collaboration with Drop Project Brewing Co.

Tasting Notes

Pale golden yellow with a soft haze throughout, typical of the style. The head forms quickly and holds with moderate retention, leaving a delicate lace pattern on the glass. Bright carbonation is evident in the steady rise of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical fruit—passion fruit and strawberry lead, followed by a wave of dank resinous hop character. Kiwi brightness cuts through the middle register, while subtle pine provides structure. A soft sweetness sits beneath, suggesting careful malt balance without dominating the hop profile.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers fruit-forward sweetness at entry, with passion fruit and strawberry grounded by a resinous hop bitterness that builds steadily through the mid-palate. The mouthfeel is notably silky and smooth, allowing the interplay of tropical notes and dank character to unfold without harshness. Kiwi acidity provides refreshment, while a gentle piney dryness emerges as the flavours evolve.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with a lingering echo of passion fruit sweetness and a faint herbal-piney aftertaste. The dank character persists subtly without becoming astringent.

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.
