Scorpion Hazy IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with pronounced haze from yeast suspension, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. A dense, pillowy head forms quickly and persists with fine, lacey retention around the glass rim. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, though the overall impression leans toward creamy softness rather than aggressive fizz.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit notes—lemon zest and peach—layered over tropical fruit undertones of mango and passion fruit. Noble hops contribute a subtle herbal backbone without aggressive resinousness. Soft malt presence grounds the profile, while fermentation adds a clean, yeasty minerality that keeps the aromatics fresh and inviting.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with citrus and tropical fruit flavors unfolding across the mid-palate without sharp edges. The 45 IBU bitterness arrives late and measured, providing necessary balance without dominating. Malt sweetness remains restrained, allowing hop character and fruitiness to lead; the overall impression is one of seamless integration between residual sweetness and measured bitterness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering citrus zest and a faint herbal note that fade gradually. No harshness or astringency remains; instead, a subtle fruit-forward aftertaste encourages the next sip.
