Stooper

Tap to rate

Tropical and citrusy aromas burst out of this 6.4% hazy IPA, driven by copious Galaxy and Citra hops. It is soft and light on the palate at 34 IBU, pitched as the beer for after your shift, on your day off, or just chilling on the stoop. A year-round core beer built to be crushed. Like every Sixpoint ale since May 2017, it goes out raw and unfiltered.

◌ Aroma

Galaxy and Citra hops deliver an immediate burst of tropical stone fruit and citrus zest—ripe mango and grapefruit dominate the nose. A soft, clean fermentation profile allows the hop character to remain front and center, with minimal malt backbone and no yeast-driven complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and approachable, with tropical and citrus notes carrying through cleanly without harsh edges. At 34 IBU, bitterness plays a supporting role, arriving late and finishing short—this is a crushable beer built for session drinking rather than hop intensity. Light body and smooth texture make it easy to drink repeatedly.

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

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Hazy IPA
