Supa Sue-Mo

Tap to rate

Pineapple and orange flavors smash into the palate of this hazy double IPA, built on Mosaic and Citra hops together. At 8.2% ABV it matches King Sue's strength but adds Mosaic to the Citra. The brewery calls it a hazy triumph. It comes from Toppling Goliath, founded in Decorah, Iowa, in 2009, a brewery known for IPAs.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Supa Sue-Mo

◎ Appearance

Supa Sue-Mo presents a light golden hue with pronounced haze, characteristic of the style. The turbidity stems from yeast in suspension rather than sediment, creating an opaque, almost creamy visual presence. A dense, persistent head builds and clings to the glass with fine Schaumhaftung.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus—pineapple and orange pith dominate, backed by Mosaic and Citra's tropical generosity. Beneath the fruit sits a resinous, herbal undertone from the hops, with a subtle malt sweetness that grounds the composition without overwhelming the aromatic expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a juicy, full-bodied entry where orange and pineapple notes arrive immediately and persist through the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness builds gradually, never harsh, and is well-integrated with the fruit. The 8.2% ABV remains balanced and unobtrusive, allowing hop character to remain the focus.

◑ Finish

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.
