Waikiki Brewing Skinny Jeans IPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A dense, creamy head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lace patterns that track the drinking line. Vigorous carbonation drives steady effervescence throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

Bright citrus and orange peel dominate the nose, with clean herbal-floral hop notes providing structure and definition. A light malty sweetness sits beneath, grounding the assertive hop character without competing. The aroma is crisp and inviting, with no rough edges or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Citrus and orange flavors lead the palate entry, supported by a moderate, biscuity malt foundation that prevents harshness. The mid-palate develops a firm, clean bitterness (56 IBU) that integrates seamlessly rather than attacking. The finish is notably dry, with lingering hoppy bitterness and a mineral edge.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with hop bitterness and a white-wine dryness persisting through the aftertaste. No cloying sweetness or alcohol warmth; the 6% ABV remains well-hidden beneath the crisp, refreshing close.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
