Glow

Tap to rate

Pomelo, mandarin and passionfruit rest on a soft, juicy, hazy base. Glow is an all-Citra DIPA at 8.0%, made with Citra from a hand-selected lot grown at Carpenter Ranches. Track first used those hops solo in its Carpenter DDH IPA, then cranked things up a notch for this beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus — pomelo and mandarin pith give way to passionfruit complexity. The single-hop Citra character shines with a juicy, tropical openness, supported by a gentle floral edge. Underneath sits a soft, barely-perceptible malt sweetness that frames without overwhelming.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the same citrus and stone-fruit generosity found on the nose, spreading across the tongue with a full, creamy mouthfeel. Mid-palate develops a controlled bitterness — 80 IBU sits cleanly without harshness — balanced by the beer's natural softness and haze. The finish remains refreshing, with lingering orange zest and tropical notes.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste fades moderately, leaving behind dry citrus oil and a whisper of malt. The beer's juiciness ebbs gradually, never becoming sticky or astringent.

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.
