Racer 7 Hazy IPA

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden-yellow with a hazy, opaque quality characteristic of the style. The cloudiness derives from a hazy yeast strain and suspended proteins rather than oxidation. A modest white head forms initially, with moderate lacing and retention that gradually diminishes.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright tropical and citrus notes from Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops—ripe stone fruit, passionfruit, and tangerine lead. Soft grain undertones from oats and wheat provide a gentle malty foundation without heaviness. The overall character is clean and inviting, with minimal resinous or herbal edge.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and juicy, with the oat and wheat base delivering a plush, velvety mouthfeel. Mid-palate carries forward the fruity hop character—orange zest, stone fruit, and subtle floral notes—while maintaining a smooth body. Bitterness remains restrained and integrated at 50 IBU, allowing fruit and sweetness to dominate without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the fruity hop profile fading smoothly. Residual sweetness is modest, leaving no cloying aftertaste, and dryness increases gradually without harsh tannin.
