Nebula

Tap to rate

Very fruity and creamy: Nebula shows grapefruit and pineapple alongside honey, pine needles, white pepper and sponge cake, with tropical fruit running through it. The bitterness is clear. Strata CGX, Nectaron and Motueka are the hops, joined by barley malt, oats and wheat, and this hazy double IPA was brewed as a limited edition in Cornellà del Terri.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Nebula

◎ Appearance

Nebula presents a hazy golden appearance with a pale amber undertone, true to its Double IPA character. The cloudiness runs throughout, suspended from brewed-in haze rather than settling. A dense, creamy head forms and clings to the glass with good retention.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit—grapefruit and pineapple dominate—layered against honey and white pepper notes. Floral and piney hop character emerges underneath, with a subtle sponge cake maltiness that adds softness to the otherwise assertive hop profile. Citrus and herbal complexity weave through on deeper breathing.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and creamy, delivering immediate tropical fruit and citrus punch balanced by oat and wheat smoothness. The mid-palate sustains fruity intensity—pineapple and grapefruit—while pine needles and spice emerge cleanly. Bitterness builds steadily without harshness, finishing with a dry, lingering hoppy bite.

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.
