Sensory Description:

The nose opens with vibrant tropical aromatics, led by mango, guava, and ripe papaya, layered with delicate notes of white grape and lime zest. On the palate, the hazy IPA delivers a pillowy mouthfeel supported by a plush malt backbone that adds subtle sweetness without overwhelming the hop expression. Flavors of tropical fruit, citrus peel, and stone fruit glide across the palate, while the hop combination contributes a gentle vinous lift and bright herbal nuance. Bitterness remains soft and integrated, allowing the fruit-forward profile and creamy texture to carry through a smooth, refreshing finish typical of the New England style.
