Parklandia Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

A hazy sunshine yellow that glows with a soft, diffuse luminosity. The cloudiness arises from suspended yeast and protein, lending an inviting opacity without murk. A delicate, persistent head forms and clings to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden, while moderate carbonation gently animates the body.

◌ Aroma

A tropical and stone-fruit medley dominates the nose: bright Cara cara orange, pineapple juice, dried mango, and apricot lead the charge, backed by red grapefruit's gentle tartness. The Citra, Idaho 7, and Mosaic hops layer citrus zest and subtle floral notes without aggressive pine or resin. The malt recedes, allowing the Edelhopfen character to flourish.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft, juicy fruit character—pineapple, mango, and stone fruit converge in the mid-palate with a medium-full body that feels plump and inviting. Bitterness remains restrained at 35 IBU, surfacing as a gentle grapefruit edge rather than a sharp bite. The finish leans slightly dry, with lingering citrus and tropical notes holding focus.

◑ Finish

A clean, medium-length fade allows the grapefruit and dried mango to linger pleasantly. The aftertaste remains dry and fruit-forward, with no harsh astringency or cloying sweetness.
