Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for SOUP IPA

Appearance

Pale golden-orange with a soft haze throughout the body, characteristic of the NEIPA style. The head is pillowy and off-white, settling to a thin collar with modest lacing on the glass. Bright carbonation animates the suspension, creating a textured, inviting visual presence.

Aroma

The nose leads with ripe tropical fruit—mango, passionfruit, and peach—layered over a clean, grassy hop character. Subtle stone fruit and citrus notes emerge on closer inspection, underpinned by a light, neutral malt base that doesn't compete. There's an airy, almost doughy yeast character that adds roundness without any harsh fermentation notes.

Taste

Entry is juicy and soft, with tropical stone fruit flavors immediately apparent on the palate. Mid-palate develops a creamy, almost velvety texture from the suspended yeast and adjuncts, balancing the moderate 50 IBU bitterness with gentle citrus and hop resin. The finish is clean and refreshing, without astringency or harshness, allowing the fruity and hoppy character to linger pleasantly.

Finish

Short to medium dry finish with lingering citrus and soft hop notes. No sharp tannins or alcohol burn—the 6.5% ABV keeps the beer remarkably light despite its full flavor profile.

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

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.

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

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same tropical, hoppy, juicy character as SOUP IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
