🌍 United States · Hazy Double IPA · One of 7 Hazy Double IPAs in hopIQ

A hazy double IPA named like it was built for the poster on your childhood wall. Real tangerine peel with a proper stack of American hops behind it — Citra, Mosaic, whatever else was firing — over an oat-thick, pillowy body. 9% that drinks like 7%, orange marmalade on the finish. Tangerine Space Machine is exactly as much fun as it sounds.

Assertively bitter and dry.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tangerine Space Machine

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale golden with a fine suspended yeast cloud that catches light beautifully. The head is dense and creamy, clinging to the glass with persistence as you drink. Carbonation is lively but restrained, supporting the soft, pillowy texture rather than piercing it.

◌ Aroma

Bright tangerine peel and fresh citrus zest lead immediately, supported by a herbaceous hop character from Citra and Mosaic. Beneath lies a soft, grainy Malz foundation with subtle peach and floral undertones that add complexity without dominating. The overall impression is clean and fruity, with no harsh solvent or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with immediate tangerine and citrus sweetness, balanced against a measured bittering bitterness that sits at 65 IBU without aggression. The oat-based body is creamy and full-bodied, adding viscosity and mouthfeel that makes the 9% alcohol disappear into the background. Orange marmalade develops mid-palate, with persistent floral and peach notes rounding the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length with lingering orange and subtle hop bitterness. Sweetness fades gracefully, leaving a clean, slightly dry aftertaste that invites another sip.
