Hazy West Coast IPA

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden color with a hazy, opaque appearance characteristic of the style. A thick, persistent foam head dominates the pour and clings to the glass in fine lacing. The cloudiness derives from yeast and protein suspension rather than sediment, creating a soft, inviting visual presence.

◌ Aroma

Tropical and stone fruit notes lead the nose, with prominent pineapple and lime aromatics from the Citra, Motueka and El Dorado hop blend. Subtle peach undertones emerge beneath the citrus, while the haze itself contributes a soft, almost creamy dimension to the aroma. No sharp alcohol warmth despite the 6.5% ABV.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bright tropical and citrus notes that align with the aroma, then transitions into a creamy, full-bodied middle where peach and stone fruit flavors settle in. Bitterness remains restrained at 50 IBU, allowing the hop character to express fruitiness rather than harshness. The creamy mouthfeel dominates the sensory experience, softening edges and extending flavor into the mid-palate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with tropical and citrus notes fading gently rather than lingering intensely. A refreshing quality persists, inviting another sip without fatigue.
