Shark Tooth Necklace
Shark Tooth Necklace is a hazy IPA from Alvarado Street Brewery in Salinas, California, pouring a hazy, sun-kissed golden-orange with a soft, pillowy white head. The aroma is an immediate tropical holiday — ripe pink guava, juicy pineapple, and fresh mango leap from the glass, backed by the distinctly New Zealand-character of Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka hops, adding a subtle white-grape and gooseberry lift. On the palate, the beer is full and creamy, with waves of nectarine and ripe stone fruit carried on a smooth, lusciously soft body. Galaxy adds a bright citrus undercurrent that keeps things lively. The finish is gently bitter, clean, and refreshingly fruity — an effortlessly drinkable West Coast-meets-Southern-Hemisphere hop showcase.
