Sundance

Tap to rate

Orange and ripe pineapple jump out of the glass, layered with stone fruit and sticky, gently spicy pine. This hazy IPA is all about the juicy hop hit, kept in line by a complex bitterness, so it finishes crisp and tropical. The list of ingredients is short and plain: water, barley and wheat malts, hops and yeast. Brewed in Bristol at 5.6% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Sundance

◎ Appearance

A hazy pale golden brew with fine suspended particulates that soften the light diffusion. The head forms thick and creamy, clinging persistently to the glass walls with notable lacing. Carbonation appears moderate and even throughout.

◌ Aroma

Bright tropical citrus leads immediately—ripe pineapple and orange zest dominate the nose. Stone fruit notes layer beneath, with a subtle herbal pine undertone that adds complexity without harshness. Clean fermentation character allows the hop aromatics to shine without yeast or grain interference.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and fruit-forward, with tropical sweetness and citrus defining the mid-palate. A complex bitterness emerges—not sharp, but structured and refined—balancing the hop-driven character and preventing cloying sweetness. The finish turns notably crisp, with pine and citrus pith lingering cleanly on the tongue.

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.
