Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Stewart's Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden brew with a pale straw hue, deliberately left unfiltered to preserve its cloudy character. The head is soft and pillowy, settling into modest lacing that clings gently to the glass walls. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating a fine and persistent sparkle throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus and tropical stone fruit—ripe mango, pineapple, and grapefruit—layered with clean noble hop character. Subtle yeast-derived fruitiness supports the hop-forward profile without muddiness. A gentle herbaceous undertone balances the fruit-driven top notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and soft, with tropical fruit flavours unfolding across the mid-palate—mango and pineapple take the lead, with citrus acidity brightening the experience. The bitterness is restrained at 37 IBU, arriving as a gentle, balancing finish rather than assertive bite. The creamy mouthfeel remains consistent, providing a pillowy backdrop to the hop-driven character.

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.
