🌍 Canada · Fruited IPA · One of 4 Fruited IPAs in hopIQ

The brewery's hazy IPA with a fruit addition on top. Oat and dextrin malt build a thick, soft body with a sweet grainy base, and Simcoe, Mosaic and Citra layer mango, passionfruit and orange over it. Bitterness is low, so the fruit and the malt sweetness carry the finish rather than a hop bite. Pale, cloudy and full in the mouth.

Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—mango and passionfruit rise immediately, supported by crisp orange zest and citrus notes. Beneath the fruit, a soft grainy sweetness from oat and dextrin malt provides a cushioning base. Hop character is present but restrained, allowing the fruit adjunct to dominate without herbaceous intrusion.

Taste

The palate opens with a thick, creamy mouthfeel built by oat malt and dextrin, immediately welcoming and full. Tropical fruit flavors—mango, passionfruit, and orange—layer across the mid-palate with juicy intensity. Bitterness is deliberately low at 25 IBU, allowing fruit and malt sweetness to drive the flavor arc without hop bite or astringency.

Finish

The finish is smooth and lingering, with fruit and residual malt sweetness carrying the aftertaste. No harsh hop dryness interrupts the conclusion; instead, a soft, slightly tacky coating remains on the palate.
