The Captain Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Straw-coloured and visibly hazy, with suspended particles from oats and spelt creating a soft, clouded appearance. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving persistent lacing on the walls. Carbonation is moderate and integrated, contributing to the silky mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

An assertive bouquet leads with stone fruit—peach and apricot—layered beneath bright tropical notes of mango and passionfruit from the Galaxy and Citra hops. The oats and spelt contribute a subtle, soft backdrop without aggressive grain character, allowing the hop aromatics to dominate throughout.

◐ Taste

The entry is medium-full, delivering stone fruit and tropical fruit flavours that echo the nose with coherence and presence. The mid-palate remains soft and silky despite the intensity, with bitterness restrained to low-medium levels—the Chinook and Southern Star hops provide structure without harshness. The body carries the flavours smoothly to a clean, dry conclusion.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and comparatively short, with residual fruit character fading gracefully into dry warmth. No harsh bitterness lingers; instead, a gentle, warming impression remains on the palate.
