Emrallt

Tap to rate

Emrallt, Welsh for emerald, is a hazy IPA built around Citra hops and first released in 2021. The brewery describes bright citrus and bold tropical fruit over a soft, hazy body, balanced by a dash of dank and citrusy Columbus. Citrus peel and ripe tropical fruit dominate, with a resinous undertone beneath the rounded texture. The artwork takes its cue from the emerald damselfly found across the wetlands of North Wales.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Emrallt

◎ Appearance

Emrallt presents a pale golden-yellow body with deliberate cloudiness from the yeast in suspension, characteristic of the hazy IPA style. The head is modest but persistent, with fine white foam that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the soft, pillowy mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright Citra hop character—zesty lemon zest and fresh orange peel—layered over ripe mango and passionfruit notes that speak to the tropical fruit promise. A subtle resinous undertone from Columbus hops adds earthiness and dank complexity beneath the fruit-forward top notes. The overall impression is crisp and inviting without aggressive hop volatility.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and soft, with citrus flavors immediately engaging the palate. Mid-palate brings concentrated tropical stone fruit—ripe mango, peach—balanced by a measured bitterness that sits at 50 IBU, enough to frame without dominate. The resinous character of Columbus emerges as a drying element, preventing sweetness and adding structure to the rounded body.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with a lingering citrus and resin impression. A subtle dryness builds on the palate without harshness, characteristic of well-integrated hops in the lower alcohol range.

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