Ruin My Life

Tap to rate

Mango, papaya and passion fruit come through in this super dank, juicy, thick 7% double dry hopped New England IPA. SALT brewed it with Simcoe, Enigma and Mosaic for the transatlantic pop-rock band As It Is, to mark their self-titled fifth album and their return to the scene that first connected them.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ruin My Life

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a noticeable haze that diffuses light softly throughout the glass. The head forms quickly and clings to the sides with fine retention, leaving delicate lacing on each sip. Bright carbonation rises steadily, creating an inviting visual sense of freshness.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical stone fruit—mango, papaya, and passion fruit leap forward immediately. Beneath sits a dank, resinous hop character from the Simcoe and Enigma, grounding the fruit in earthy hemp and pine. Light floral notes from Mosaic round out the profile without overwhelming the core fruit expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is thick and juicy, delivering concentrated tropical fruit flavors that coat the palate smoothly. Mid-palate shows full body and creamy mouthfeel, with the dank hop character becoming more pronounced as citrus notes emerge alongside lingering fruit. Bitterness sits at a moderate level (50 IBU), supporting rather than dominating the overall sweetness.

◑ Finish

Clean and fairly quick, leaving behind fading fruit notes and a subtle dank hop dryness. The aftertaste is refreshing without harshness, allowing the fruit to gently fade into a mild resinous memory.

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.
