Legacy

Tap to rate

Delicate dragonfruit sweetness brings a burst of tropical and citrusy flavour to this juicy 6% NEIPA. Legacy is SALT's liquid tribute to British tattoo icon Mike Stockings and shares its name with the Suffolk studio that has been home to his neo-traditional style for well over 15 years. Classic big and bold outlines are kept in the body.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Legacy

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a distinctly hazy, opaque character from suspended yeast and proteins. A generous white head forms on the pour with moderate retention and fine Schaumkleiden along the glass. Lively carbonation creates a soft, cloudy suspension throughout.

◌ Aroma

Bright tropical fruit forward on the nose, with prominent dragonfruit and stone fruit notes leading the charge. Citrus zest—lemon and lime—weaves through the mid-palate aromatics, supported by a soft, clean yeast character. Noble hops contribute subtle floral undertones without dominating the fruit-driven profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy dragonfruit and citrus sweetness, delivering a full, fruit-forward entry that feels creamy despite the dry finish developing mid-palate. Moderate hop bitterness (50 IBU) integrates cleanly without sharpness, allowing the tropical and citrus character to remain the focal point. The body is soft and approachable, with a refreshing quality that keeps the sweetness in balance.

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.

About Hazy IPA
