Shark Tooth Necklace

◎ Appearance

Shark Tooth Necklace presents as a hazy, sun-kissed golden-orange with excellent clarity within its soft, cloudy matrix. A pillowy white head rises generously and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. The body displays the characteristic suspended yeast haze of a well-executed modern IPA, catching light with an inviting glow.

◌ Aroma

The nose announces itself immediately with a tropical fruit medley: ripe pink guava, juicy pineapple, and fresh mango dominate the foreground. Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka hops layer in subtle white-grape and gooseberry notes, adding a refined New Zealand character. The aromatic profile remains bright and inviting without sharp alcohol presence.

◐ Taste

The palate opens full and creamy, with waves of nectarine and ripe stone fruit developing across the mid-palate on a lusciously soft body. Galaxy hops bring a bright citrus undercurrent that maintains liveliness throughout. The bitterness remains gently restrained at 50 IBU, never overwhelming the fruit-forward character, while a smooth mouthfeel carries the beer with ease.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with fruity notes lingering pleasantly into the aftertaste. Mild bitterness provides structure without astringency, allowing the tropical and citrus character to fade gracefully.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
