Frisky

Tap to rate

Tropical fruit and fresh citrus come through in the glass: a New England IPA built for any day of the week, at just 4.4% ABV. Three different malts give it a full feel, with wheat and oats in the grist, and three favourite hops of the brewery, Sabro, Talus and Citra, carry the aroma. The idea is simple: don't wait for the weekend, open a Frisky on a Monday evening, at lunch or before a late Sunday breakfast.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Frisky

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a soft haze throughout the glass, characteristic of the New England IPA style. The head forms quickly and settles into a thin, persistent layer with modest lacing. Fine carbonation creates a gentle shimmer beneath the surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical stone fruit—mango and passionfruit—layered beneath crisp citrus zest from the Citra hop. Sabro and Talus contribute subtle herbal and floral undertones without dominating. A soft, wheaty maltiness sits in the background, adding body and warmth to the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, creamy mouthfeel built on wheat and oats, then develops juicy tropical and citrus flavors across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the hop character to shine as aroma rather than sharp bite. The finish is clean and refreshing, with no harshness despite the dry underlying structure.

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.

About Hazy IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Hazy IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same tropical, hoppy, citrusy character as Frisky will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
