Mucki Hop

Tap to rate

An IPA hopped with a single German variety, Hüll Melon, which dominates the beer: juicy notes of honeydew melon and ripe peach, with a hint of delicate pink berries behind them. Bitterness is pronounced and sits at the top of the brewery's own scale. Barley and wheat malt form the base at 15.8 °P original gravity; the beer is unfiltered and unpasteurised.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mucki Hop

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout, characteristic of an unfiltered, unpasteurised brew. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving fine lacing on each sip. Lively carbonation is evident in a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the cloudy matrix.

◌ Aroma

The Hüll Melon hop variety announces itself boldly on the nose, releasing a ripe stone-fruit and melon character that leads with honeydew and succulent peach. Delicate floral and berry notes emerge in the background, adding complexity without overwhelming the primary hop expression. Subtle cereal notes from the barley-wheat malt base sit quietly beneath the fruit-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and soft, with immediate melon and peach flavours from the Hüll Melon hop dominating the mid-palate. Bitterness is pronounced and assertive, sitting at the upper end of the brewery's scale, yet balances the fruit sweetness rather than overshadowing it. The wheat and barley malt contribute a light, clean foundation that allows the hoppy character to remain the focal point.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with the hoppy bitterness persisting pleasantly through the aftertaste. Melon and peach notes fade gradually, leaving a crisp, bitter edge that invites the next sip.

Serve at 8–11°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
