Very dry and assertively bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Space Dust IPA
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and lively carbonation throughout. A thick, creamy head forms on the pour and clings to the glass in distinct rings as you drink, leaving clear evidence of its passage.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright citrus—candied grapefruit and tangerine zest dominate, supported by tropical stone fruit notes of mango and peach. A resinous, herbal backbone from Chinook hops adds depth without obscuring the primary fruit-forward character.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with immediate citrus sweetness—orange marmalade and grapefruit—before a substantial, clean bitterness rolls through the mid-palate. The Citra and Amarillo dry-hop blend sustains fruity notes alongside the hop bite, maintaining balance despite the assertive IBU profile. Finish is crisp and notably dry, with minimal residual sweetness.
◑ Finish
The bitterness persists with moderate length, leaving a dry, resinous aftertaste that lingers pleasantly on the palate without becoming harsh. The 8.2% ABV remains well-integrated, adding subtle warmth without obvious alcohol burn.
